{{quote|''"Lieutenant. By edict of Confederate High Command, all matters regarding these xenomorphs are under Class 7 Seal. Do not speak of the existence of the xenomorphs or in any way relay the events surrounding their appearance on Chau Sara. Failure to comply with these orders will result in immediate termination.

[[File:Screenshot2010-09-22_19_16_032_2407.png|frame|Not all makeovers are good...]]
 
Line 398 ⟶ 385:
{{quote|In the events of Starcraft: Brood War, following the Overmind's death, Kerrigan takes it upon herself to dispose of the remaining 'leaders' of the Zerg Swarm - the Cerebrates - in order to gain control of it while [[Magnificent Bastard|manipulating and deceiving]] all the other factions in the process. In the end, she claims control of the entire Zerg species for herself while crippling most other factions, setting herself up as the self-proclaimed "Queen Bitch of the Universe".}}
 
==== '''Tropes related to Human Kerrigan: ===='''
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III or IV in Heart of the Swarm; she does seem to feel genuine guilt for her crimes, and she no longer possesses her sociopathic hatred of non-zerg life, but she still has a strong "ends justify the means" attitude with regards to Mengsk.
Line 416 ⟶ 403:
* [[Woman Scorned]]
 
==== '''Tropes related to Infested Kerrigan/The Queen of Blades ===='''
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]
* [[And I Must Scream]]: It's suggested that she was not responsible for her actions, and may very well have spent the whole time as an effective prisoner in her own mind.

=== Other ===
==== Xel'Naga ====
{{quote|''"The Zerg Swarm came as was foretold. And the Protoss, firstborn of the gods, rose to fight them. Now, the Xel'Naga that forged us all are returning. But do they come to save... or to destroy?"''|'''Zeratul'''}}
