Scumpis

Scumpis are a fictional species from the video game "StarCraft." They are insectoid creatures known for their small size and rapid reproduction. In the game's lore, Scumpis are often depicted as pests or minor threats, though they can overwhelm unprepared opponents through sheer numbers. Their primary characteristic is their swarm behavior, making them a challenge for players to manage in large quantities. Scumpi infestations can become a significant problem for planetary colonies, leading to damage and resource depletion. Their origins and specific biological details are not extensively detailed in the StarCraft universe, but they are generally understood to be native to various planets within the Koprulu Sector. Their role in the game is often as an environmental hazard or a low-tier enemy unit that can be easily dealt with by more powerful forces. Despite their limited threat individually, their ability to multiply quickly makes them a recurring nuisance. The term "Scumpy" is also sometimes used informally in the StarCraft community to refer to any overwhelming swarm of weak units.
