The Zergling (commonly known as "lings") is the basic light ground assault unit for the Zerg. It attacks with it claws and can be devastating in large numbers. Zerglings are trained in pairs at a cost of 50 minerals and 1 Control, making each Zergling cost 25 minerals and 0.5 Control.
The Zergling can be mutated into a Baneling.
Lore
The small, savage dune-runners of the sand-world Zz’gash were incorporated into the Zerg Swarm to serve as scouts and initial assault troops. Although the Zerglings are little more than feral animals, they work well in large groups under the command of larger Zerg warriors. The voracious Zerglings are fond of ripping enemies to shreds with their razor-limb sickles and fangs. Because the genetic code of the Zergling is so simple to replicate, a single Larva can spawn two separate Zerglings.
