Summary
The Baneling is a living bomb used in the Zerg swarm. Filled to the brim with acid that can vaporize entire armor-clad soldiers instantly, the Baneling is as terrifying as it is deadly. The Baneling can completely disintegrate buildings and the like with its acid, and poses a serious threat to infantry units.
Despite its power, it is a one-off unit. When the Baneling attacks, it self-destructs, killing itself while launching its devastating payload in a large area around it. While not meant to win fights on its own, a group of Banelings can make short work of infantry and ground fortifications with a glorious green spray of acid.
