Attention Seeker is the fifteenth episode in the first season of StarCrafts.
Plot[]
A zergling is seen swimming in a spawning pool full of green ooze resembling water, being watched by a queen. It finishes its bath and the queen wipes it with a changeling towel. She puts it down to accompany the hydralisk.
The scene cuts to a Xel'naga tower. The zergling and hydralisk capture the tower. The zergling cannot sit still and runs around in and out of the tower's range. To keep the zergling in the tower's range, the hydralisk leashes it to the tower. After the hydralisk leaves, the zergling tries to break free but instead it sits. Three phoenixes fly through the background. A raven arrives at the tower. It does a barrel roll. The zergling imitates it and rolls over as well. It casts a seeker missile at the zergling, and the zergling pulls himself from the collar and retreats to the zerg base. It returns to the hydralisk and runs circles around him again, and the hydralisk turns back. The seeker missile crashes into the hydralisk's face. Instead of showing the resulting explosion, the episode cuts to a title card.
Epilogue[]
The hydralisk's head lands on the burnt spot caused by the explosion. In the background, one of the three phoenixes from "Spore Loser" fly through an overlord's creep excretion, which blocks his view and causes him to crash into a cliff.

Trivia[]
- During the title sequence for this episode, another car crashes into the CarBot Animations logo.
- Consequently, the CarBot Animations logo has a bandage on it in the next episode.
- The episode's number shows as "14", a slight error. The YouTube annotation overlaps it with a small "15" to correct this, unlikely.
- This episode explains further that zerglings act as puppies, brood queen as the mother, and a particular hydralisk as the father.
- The spawning pool acts as a swimming pool or a bathtub, probably a pun for StarCraft fans. It will be reused later in the promotional episode, "Spawning Pool Party".
- Unit quotations from StarCraft II used:
- Raven: "Target acquired."
In-game References[]
- When Xel'naga is captured by a nearby unit, it temporarily removes the surrounding fog of war for its controller until a unit leaves.
- Zergling swimming around the spawning pool resembles upgrade process, thus it gives him metabolic boost upgrade such as wings.
