A single Overlord can only keep track of so many units, however, and so the Zerg rely on a Control system just as much as the Terrans rely on Supplies and the Protoss rely on Psi. As a Zerg army grows, its Cerebrate must continually spawn more Overlords to keep all those creatures in tight rein.
As such, any Zerg base is likely to have at least a half-dozen Overlords hanging around it, with more likely wandering the map. The Overlords found in a new hive are very, very slow, and have no attack and no abilities, beyond being Detectors, which allows them to see cloaked or burrowed enemy units.
While the hive grows, they are often used to scout out the area immediately surrounding it. Various evolutions are available to make them more useful as the hive grows; Antennae increase the range of their sight, furthering the distance they can detect invisible units, a Pneumatized Carapace increases the movement speed of an Overlord, and while they're still very slow, they are at least able to keep up with Terran Dropships - which is handy, because the third major upgrade, Ventral Sacs, allow them to carry ground-based Zerg strains within their body and transport them across the map, essentially making them living Dropships.
Finally, they also benefited from the Flyer Armour upgrades at the Spire, which allows the Zerg to build air units. Though the basic mineral, supply cost, and all aforementioned upgrades remain mainly unchanged with the exception of the Antennae upgrade, which they no longer require , they lose their Detector status and gain the Excrete Creep ability, which causes the Overlord in question to cover the ground directly beneath it with Creep, the substance upon which most Zerg buildings must be built.
This has no energy or time limit, and works as long as the Overlord isn't moving. This allows them to allowing for further tactical options through mobile creep generation, such as surreptitiously building an array of Spore and Spine Crawlers outside an enemy base.
An overlord using the Excrete Creep ability The other, larger, change came in the form of the Overseer Morph ability. This causes the Overlord to retreat into a hovering cocoon and transform into a new unit, the Overseer.
Overseers cannot transport ground units or excrete creep, but re-gain the old Detector status; an inherent ability that is only shared by the Spore Colony and Spore Crawler. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Overlord StarCraft II.

Corrupting minerals takes some time to fully cast, but it creates a non-attacking creature that takes over that resource, and needs to be killed before those minerals are able to be gathered.
Furthermore, you can corrupt resources that are already being mined, introducing potential Overseer raids to slow the enemy's production. MilkiCow vs Fallenger. Dandy vs Dienmax. Grand Platypus Open.
