May 26, 2008 6:00 AMBlizzard Entertainment has added another section to the ever growing list of buildings and units featured on the official StarCraft II website. This time Blizzard has added the Baneling, a new Zerg living weapon which gives players the chance to devastate enemy targets with explosive force. The site update features new visuals and descriptions.The baneling is a creature so bloated with fluid-filled sacs that it can barely walk; instead, it moves itself by tucking into a tight ball and rolling. However, this ungainly appearance belies the fact that the baneling is an extremely dangerous organism, one of several new zerg specialists recently seen on the battlefield. When a baneling gets close enough to an enemy, the creature triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload that causes it to explode with devastating force and shower the immediate surroundings with searing acid. The baneling is destroyed in the explosion, which is very likely to inflict a huge amount of damage. These living bombs are highly effective against both structures and ground forces; in fact, a clutch of them is capable of wiping out a group of vehicles and infantry in the blink of an eye. The banelings' lethality is further enhanced by the zerg predilection for burrowing. An apparently safe area can soon turn into a deathtrap as these monstrosities emerge and roll into the midst of their foes, giving them virtually no time to react.For more information about the Baneling follow the link below.StarCraft II: BanelingBlizzard EntertainmentStarCraft II
