Blizzard today unveiled a new zerg unit, that will take place in the next StarCraft strategy game. Meet the baneling:
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.

I hope they're not TOO easy to get. If you could drop a bunch of them into a mineral line that would be one annoying strategy.

Last I heard when it was delayed again was for a fall or holiday release.

But don't quote me on that.

The game is coming out December 3, 2008 via Gamestop.... I've all ready bought the game, and if needed I can upgrade because of the business I do with their store around my area! I can't wait! Mass Effect will be here soon!
