Slothiens were once peaceful, caterpillar-like herbivores on an unknown or unspecified homeworld. They possessed urticating hairs (loose hairs covered in tiny hooks or venom that cause skin and eye irritiation, sort of like a biological Fibreglass insulation mat) and made their homes in large nests. Unfortunately for all, this all changed when the Zerg Swarms descended upon them to assimilate them into the nightmarish Hydralisks. Not even their nests were spared, which formed the now-organic basis for the Hydralisk Dens, organic Zerg structures used to decode Slothien DNA to local Larvae. It was the urticating hairs which formed the basis for the Hydralisk's frightening and equally deadly projectile needle spines.

- The slothien (a.k.a. "caterpillar cows") were soft-ribbed, peaceful, caterpillar-like herbivores, making their homes in large nests. This changed with their assimilation into the Zerg Swarm, becoming the nightmarish hydralisks. Even their nests were corrupted. It is known that slothien possessed urticating hairs, which were coated in a mild paralytic venom to ward off predators. These hairs formed the basis for the hydralisk's deadly needle spines. Additionally, their thick mandibles were subjected to forced evolution to increase their effectiveness.

Additionally, their thick mandibles were subjected to forced evolution to increase their effectiveness. The protoss are aware of the slothien and their assimilation by the Swarm. The Terran Dominion learnt of them through obtaining these records, and carried out further studies.
