These maggot-like creatures that seemingly only consist of brain substance are linked to the creep and cannot move on their own accord without significant help from other Zerg creatures. They are impossible to truly kill without the help of psionic powers, such as those of the Protoss Dark Templar.
Cerebrates run specific Broods of the Swarm, and are in charge of controlling the evolution and specialization of those broods. They have a mind and will of their own, and are extremely intelligent, but they are loyal to their deaths to the Overmind.
The Queen of Blades defeated all known Cerebrates, permanently killing them during the Brood War, as they tried to take control of the Swarm and merge into a new Overmind. However, Cerebrates have been seen after the last conflicts, so there might be a few, unknown Cerebrates left. It is also possible that the Queen of Blades has bred new ones, helping her control the Swarm, and made sure these are as loyal to her as the previous cerebrates were loyal to the Overmind.
