an air creature from starcraft(broodwar) that can only attack other air units. it belongs to the zerg race, and works well with sourges to eliminate flying forces. it is the equivalent of the corsair(protoss) and the valkyrie(terran) which are also released in broodwar.
they do a moderate amount of damage with splash, but most important is that they slow the enemy's rate of fire with spores.
he came in with carriers and i thought i was done for, but with some devourer's and and a dozen scourges i managed to hold him off.
