It'll detect everything like a detector does, it doesn't discriminate between a unit's color/team/owning-player. | ||

EDIT: So you're saying if you parasite your opponent's observer you will be able to see any DT's near it? | ||

Also scourge are slightly faster than sairs. They get very close, thats why the pro's sometimes have to juke out the scourge with ai glitching | ||

If you parasite a detector (Observer, Overlord, Science Vessel) then you can see any cloaked enemy units within range. If you parasite a cloaked unit, you can see that cloaked unit, but no others near it. If you parasite neutral critters, nobody will notice and you'll have free scouts around the map. If you parasite a ground unit, that is then picked up by a shuttle/overlord/dropship, you will lose vision until it is dropped down. You will then get vision again. If you parasite a drone that morphs into a building, you don't get a parasited building  Parasite is most useful on detectors or transports because they tend to be expensive and important to keep track of. Late game ZvT should always have 1 queen, since you'll get the nest anyways, and 100/100 isn't much when you have 3-5 bases. It's great for picking off damaged CC's, as it can effectively do 700 damage. Also, parasite on vessels allows you to keep track of the cloud. | ||
