    Well, the overmind planned to assimilate protoss and become pure or perfect, it would be a bit of a downplay if it was done easily by kerrigan :/

    Infested protoss do exist now... well, there was just one, and it was created under special circumstances. (And no, I am not talking about hybrids!)

    Link: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Infested_protoss (new info is from Frontline graphic novel volume 2: Creep). Spoilers for that story in link!

    Apparently no the protoss can't be infested, at least not lore wise. I was reading Starcraft Frontline Volume 2 and in one of the stories a protoss says that the khala prevents infefestation.

    Of course there are always exceptions/rewrites to the rules so who knows ^_^

    actually the Protoss can be Infested lore-wise, if can be found here, but i dont think you want to click it as it will ruin the book for you, because from me reading it it seems to be connected to the main storyline. hmm i really need to get my hands on the books myself.

    Well like I said there are always exceptions and that was a special case. Whether or not it will connected to the main story is doubtful IMO. The stories in Frontlines seem more like seperate side stories that take place in the SC universe but aren't part of or mentioned in the main storyline in the games.

    1st. please dont quote the person above you

    anyway, I think the fact that Blizzard tried to implement Infested Protoss into Starcraft 2 indicates that they were going to have that lore in the game, but in the end they gave up, why? maybe because they were arguing among themselves about the lore, or maybe that it didnt balance out so well in the game, or maybe they game in to the fans that didnt want Infested Protoss. who knows.

    There may be some in the campaign but they removed it for sure for multiplayer.

    I doubt that you'd be able to control the Protoss/Zerg hybrid.

    Like I said befor we will probly be seeing something in single player due to the secret campaign level in the original Starcraft.

    Custom campaign editors like in Sc we can't use General Dugal or um the Protoss Matriarch but using Custom we can use it.

    They're not the same thing as infested protoss, however.

    Notice though how that the creep was mutated. I take that to mean that normally it is impossible to infest a protoss, but with this added virus it became possible.

    purity of form


    you are correct, although I seem to recall that it was because the Protoss possess a purity of form. the experimented creep at PAX seemed to interfere in someway with the Khala causing the Protoss individuals affected to essentially go "crazy"... but it's not a biological infestation in that sense

    maybe blizz could incorporate this by having infestors cause protoss units in the vicinity to go "crazy" during this time... or to pump out weakened crazy zealots that attack everything nearby?

    I hope they do something like that then, because as of the latest I heard anything that get's infested sprouts out terran marines, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if there is no terran around of course this could be out dated news I don't know.

    Nothing gets infested anymore, that was taken out.

    Originally there was plans for infested marines from terran buildings and infested protoss from protoss buildings, then broodligns from everything, now the infestor just spawns infested marines.
