Just happened to stumble across this from last year's BlizzCon:

One thing I like about the Zerg is that Blizzard treats them as nasty joke of sorts. What I mean by that is that nobody kids about 'Nids in 40K. When they show up, it's almost always the end of the world because they are presented as almost unstoppable (which is suitably grim for 40K). In SC, Zergs are more like Orcs in that they are a destructive pest that everyone hates and fears, but they are not unstoppable. One of the better moments in SC2 was the photo of Raynor and his pals standing around the carcass of a Zerg they hunted down in the desert. It was presented like some sort of elephant hunt or something. They even hung its mandibles on the wall of the cantina! :rifle: Stuff like that, and that song on the jukebox - Zerg, Shotgun & You - just makes them so much more believable because if such things as Zerg existed, you just know people would be singing about them, getting drunk and hunting them down! :laugh:
