The Baneling is a Zerg suicide unit. They are morphed from zerglings, and explodes on command or when attacking, causing 20 or more damage to surrounding units. They do bonus damage to light units. They can be upgraded with Centrifugal Hooks, increasing their movement speed. The Baneling is very effective for taking out workers in the mineralline, or for units that typically cluster, like Marines and Zerglings.
