Wat, no. The zerg had the overmind from the start. Although the form of the overmind might have been different. It was a knowledge seeker and peacefull for the most part. But it was corrupted, either by a being or with time. It's once noble pursuit of knowledge became a pursuit of power, as knowledge is power. By assimilating other races into a fixed stream of manipulative genes, the knowledge became brute force. The creation of larvae might have been done on purpose. Because if you assimilate genes, you can't simply change, you need to morph. Larvae go into a cocoon state and become butterflies. Zerg go into the cocoon state and become monsters. By manipulating what kind of metamorphosis, the simple manipulating of genes allowed them to become quite lethal, because if it encounterd a leathal foe, it could simply assimilate some of their foes and adapt. It could make them flexible and nimble yet armored and strong. Any exposed weakness could be removed with the next wave.
In the beginning, the Xel'Naga created the intellgient creature we dub Protoss, who formed a faith with two sides. Which ended up causing unrest and ultimately ended up severing the Protoss into two sides,
after a lot of struggles and turmoil, one of the Protoss sides was banished from their home world, Aiur. Which then colonized another planet and became the origins of dark templars.
The Xel'Naga had however moved on to the Zerg, and manipulated the zerg to gain sentience and become a hive mind. You can have no conflict if everything is united with a single mind.
I don't remember the creation of the humans though, I don't think they were created, but just went with our theory of evolution. I remember reading something about them shooting out into space, colonizing two planets and then started the Terran empire.

How do you explain the Hybrid?
(Ok, so now I'm trolling.)

Primarily, genetic experiments done by humans, as shown in the last mission in brood wars.

Okay, stop desecrating my thread.
The Zerg story goes like this:
The Xel'Naga got mad at the Protoss fighting of which clan would be their champion, and left them. Some of them worshiped them differently (hint, hint), that's why the Aeon happened.
The Xel'Naga found the zerg, parasitic creatures that feasted on other creatures. They helped them, and they started assimilating creatures into their species. The Xel'Naga decided to make an Overmind to avoid the Zerg from going civil war like the Protoss, and they ended up getting anhilated because of some (dark voice) reason.
That's the story, and as i found out, the Zerg are Larvae like creatures.
THE END.

I was talking about the zeg-protoss hybrid that the Xel'Naga created in starcraft 2...

That conflicts with the story the near dead Overmind told us in Starcraft 2.

Actually, the primary creators of the hybrids were the terrans. In brood wars, Zerg-Protoss hybrids was created and shown to have been created in a terran lab, with failed experiments and one successful one. Again, the last brood war mission.
In Starcraft 2, there's a hidden mission where you run from a terran created hybrid and pick up items along the way escaping from it. There are also numerous subliminal and vague messages about that the Terrans may be its creators, hinting that what may be behind the hybrids might not entirely be about the Xel'Naga (Or that the Xel'Naga are not the sole creators of them) and that Kerrigans rebellious act might actually stop the end that the Terrans may invoke. Which that friendly protoss guy that I can't remember the name of pointed out. Kerrigan must live, or we will all die. After all, man creates monster, monster creates gore, big daddy Xel'Naga manipulates the mass of powerful beasts and life is wiped clean.

Oh... makes sense now that I've played the last mission of Zeratul in Brood Wars, and the Secret Mission in WoL.
Thanks man.
Oh, and, the friendlyprotoss guy is Tassadar... the one that sacrificed himself to destroy the Overmind...
