An infested terran is not a hybrid. It is simply a human who had his body and mind twisted to serve the overmind. Thus the unstable chemicals in his body that will detonate when teh cerebrate gives the order. Hybrids are made with gene splicing, creating a new creature alltogether. The infested unit's genetic code is not changed so much as his physical body. An infested protoss unit would just be a prtoss unit with all the zerg junk sticking out. And different attacks and stuff. A prtoss zerg hybrid would be a totally different unit then a zerg or protoss, but with similarities to both race. Like free will + genetic pliability + psychic power + physical strength. I just needed to say that it's been bugging me forever when people say "Well an hybrid is just an infested unit anyway."
Hope that cleared things up.:)

I would have agreed with you but...

"Well an hybrid is just an infested unit anyway."

Actually,that's quite true.Then explain about Infested Kerrigan.

Like free will

All Zerg units do not have free will.THey are either controlled by the Overmind or a Cerebrate.

You're not exactly telling us anything we didn't know before, but I applaud your effort. Though I do believe this would be better off in the SCII section.

All zerg units are infested somethings, they're a race that assimilates and takes over other species... Therefore an infested terran is just like any other zerg unit, but it is takes from a species that we are acually familliar with.

Kerrigan is officially a Terran/Zerg hybrid creature.

That alone refutes your assertion.

Is Kerrigan officially a hybrid? Could you give me a link or something?

Anyway, this was a nice tidbit, I guess.
