Baneling is a zerg suicide bomber unit.
Appearance[]
Morphed from zerglings, and just as cute, banelings always smile with an upper zigzag lip as teeth and have a head plate above their eyes. On their back is a large sac of green acid. Their design differs from StarCraft II, where the eyes of banelings are barely visible, and which have several acid sacs preceding the largest sac.
Banelings are seen slowly crawling with their claws when they lack the Centrifugal Hooks upgrade, or curling into a ball and rolling around when they have it.
Trivia[]
- As of "Legacy of the Void Opening", team color has been changed to reflect on StarCrafts Mod multiplayer.[1] Their green sacs become team colored, but the brown skin is retained.
- Last seen in "Alliance Part 3", a red-teamed baneling's skin was team-colored while the sac was green. It brought a slight contradiction since purple-teamed banelings had no purple template.
- Every episode that features baneling/s except "Nucleared" had them suicide-attacked.
- Banelings became popular among the fans besides zerglings and infestors. They also received plush toys and fan art.
