Evolution Complete is the ninth episode in the sixth season of StarCrafts. It is the one-hundred twenty-first episode overall.
Plot[]
The episode starts with the zerg hive cluster where a lair works out with two dumbbells. Three drones as cheerleaders dance with pom-poms for motivation. lair also spins its nunchacku around like a martial artist. A larva and a drone also performs exercises with hip stretches and push-ups, respectively, in order to turn themselves into a corruptor and spire.
The spire (looking like a tall, slender anthropomorphic spire) proforms leg lunges. The lair is nearing its completion, signified by its sweaty, enraged expression. Then, it becomes a hive, depicted as overly-muscled bodybuilder.
Since the hive is available, the working-out spire immediately mutates into a greater spire, which is shown as roid-raged freak with human muscular legs and a dagger.
Corruptor also performs calisthenics with jumping jack until, since greater spire is available, he evolves into a brood lord (looking more normal than the rest). He grabs a floating broodling and uses it as a nunchacku, performing a kung-fu technique vexedly. However, protoss phoenix arrives, hurting the brood lord using ion cannons. Then, lanzer torpedoes hit the brood lord. It is revealed that a terran viking fires the torpedoes in long distance, until the brood lord crash-lands from sustaining damage.
The brood lord crawls into nydus butt (parody of nydus network) and weeps. An idle zergling is shown beside him.
Epilogue[]
The lair still performs dumbbell workouts.

In-game References[]
- This episode reveals necessary requirements for zerg structure/s and unit/s in order to mutate:
- Lair allows a drone to mutate into spire.
- Spire allows a larva to mutate into corruptor.
- Hive, mutated from lair, allows a spire to mutate into greater spire.
- Greater spire allows corruptor to mutate into brood lord.
- Viking's lanzer torpedoes firing at brood lord that far is an exaggeration of their long range at 9.
Cultural references[]
