Tiamat made her host form into the first vampire, and quietly began setting about the task of restoring herself, and ultimately, her kind.
Tiamat seeks to make certain her and her brood will not fall as her kind did so long ago.
When tiamat is ready to revive herself, she will drain her stored lifeforce into her original body, give birth, then command one of her minions to use the Lexx to destroy the great cities of man, elf and drawf so that they will be unable to organize and challenge her kind again.

 Dragons of the Ancient World
Tiamat refused to harm her children, so Apsu was forced to turn to another.
She spawned another brood to support her; an army of monsters that included giant snakes with bodies filled with poison instead of blood, dragons made godlike so that whoever looked upon them would "collapse in utter terror"(Kramer, 1956, p.72), horned serpents, mushussu dragons, lahmur heroes, ugallu-demons, rabid dogs, scorpion-men, fish-men, and centaurs.
Similarly, the monstrous size attributed to Tiamat, -indeed to most dragons, seems to confirm that human psychology has altered little through the centuries we all tend to exaggerate what we find mysterious and -threatening, yet seem to feel the need to visualize what we dread in some familiar form or another.

Although there is very little known about the different Broods that comprise the Zerg Swarms, some Terran scientists have attempted to document and classify a few of the larger Broods that have ransacked their colonies.
The Fenris Brood is known for its superior tracking abilities and is often called upon to hunt down escaped breeders and wayward enemies of the Swarm across wild terrain or through the endless void of space.
This Brood is so completely destructive when unleashed it is kept restrained within the recesses of the Zerg fleet and is only called upon under the most extreme circumstances.

Tiamat's Brood is by far the most ambitious publishing project yet undertaken by Dragon's Head Press.
McBeath challenges the popular image of Tiamat as a draconian beast and examines the Sumerian and Babylonian evidence for how she was perceived and understood.
McBeath is also a professional astronomer and has had a longstanding fascination with the instances in which things draconic and things celestial meet, and not surprisingly he also explores the image and role of the dragon in ancient Mesoptamian astronomy.

When Tiamat heard him her wits scattered, she was possessed and shrieked aloud, her legs shook from the crotch down, she gabbled spells, muttered maledictions, while the gods of war sharpened their weapons.
Now that the Lord had conquered Tiamat he ended her life, he flung her down and straddled the carcass; the leader was killed, Tiamat was dead her rout was shattered, her band dispersed.
He turned back to where Tiamat lay bound, he straddled the legs and smashed her skull (for the mace was merciless), he severed the arteries and the blood streamed down the north wind to the unknown ends of the world.

Tiamat stands on the side of Chaos with Cthulhu and his clan, while Marduk's forces - Anu, Inanna, Enlil, Enki, Shamash, and the rest of the gods of Sumer - are the civilizing, protective forces of Order.
She is the mother of the gods as well as of the brood of war-monsters she creates when threatened; her anger is motivated by threat to her young (whom her spouse, Absu, wished to murder for the small crime of making too much noise) and her reaction appropriately extreme and violent for a chaotic power.
Tiamat, or Binah or Rahab or Behemoth/Leviathan, is the all-birthing sea (a frequent emblem of sleep, the unconscious mind, "out of the deep my child"...), ever-changing in form, the saltwater of blood and tears: elemental, both creative and destructive, neither evil nor good.

 Zerg Cerebrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They manifest the collective consciousness of the respective broods under their command and are therefore inseparable from the Overmind itself; each one has a "piece of the Overmind" within it, each representing one or more aspects of the Overmind's intelligence.
Its current fate after the events in Brood War is unknown, but it is believed to have found his end after melting himself (and thus practically becoming) into the new Overmind.
For example, the Garm Brood has had at least three Cerebrates: Zasz, an unnamed Cerebrate on Shakuras prior to the activation of the Xel'Naga Temple, and another unnamed Cerebrate on Char, prior to the UED's attack (due to the fact the latter was not killed by Dark Templar energies, it may have later been reincarnated).

It is this Tiamat or Leviathan that is identified closely with Kutulu or Cthulhu within the pages of the Necronomicon, though both names are mentioned independently of each other, indicating that somehow Kutulu is the male counterpart of Tiamat, similar to Absu."--Simon, from the introduction to Necronomicon (1977)
The Marduk myth switches the elements of the Judeo-Christian; while the rebel Lucifer falls from Grace and is punished by the Ancient Creator, the rebel Marduk defeats the Ancient and becomes the Creator himself by literally making the world out of the Ancient's flesh.
Central to the idea of an identity between the creatures of the Necronomicon and the Sumerian mythos is the image of a primal, chaotic, cthonic power, the core of the world, which though defeated - like the Nephilim - has never died.

Then Marduk made a bow and strung it to be his own weapon, he set the arrow against the bow-string, in his right hand he grasped the mace and lifted it up, bow and quiver hung at his side, lightnings played in front of him, he was altogether an incandesce nce.

The first act of TIÁMAT after the death of Apsû was to increase the number of her allies.
Her brood probably consisted of personifications of mist, fog, cloud, storm, whirlwinds and the blighting and destroying powers which primitive man associated with the desert.
The place of sacrifice is specified with some care, and it is said to be "Uzu-mu-a, or the bond of heaven and earth." Uzu-mu-a may be the bolt with which Marduk locked the two halves of Tiamat into place.

She is currently building up her forces on Char but has yet to attack the Terran Dominion or the Protoss of Shakuras, despite having the ability to crush both of them.[3] Instead, she waits for an unexpected and dangerous enemy.
While the exact nature of this shock is not known, it is certain that the cerebrates had to handle their respective broods during this time, without the Overmind to aid/guide them.
The second time the Overmind went into shock, it was critically weakened by Tassadar and Raynor and finally obliterated by an immensely powerful (and suicidal) psionic storm by Tassadar, while channeling all his Dark energies.
