Anatomically correct Zerg Overlord
Zerg Overlords are flying alien creatures that aid their broods by managing lesser members of the swarm, transporting units within their carapaces, and alerting a hive about any danger they perceive with their heightened senses.
They are also quite large:
An inprisoned overlord, with a human close to it for size comparison. The overlord's head is to the right (notice glowing eyes). Some images (which I cannot paste here due to copyrights and etc. suggest they may reach sizes at least twice as large as the one in the image.
Last but not least, they are able to survive in space for an indefinite amount of time. For this question I'd like to ignore their capacity for interplanetary travel, though.
How close to a Zerg Overlord can an anatomically-correct creature evolve to be?
P.s.: in the Starcraft series of games, the Zerg are capable of controlling and speeding up their own evolution. I would like to leave that out of the question as well. I am more than satisfied with the most basic Overlord.
