Zergling
Zergling is a starcraft-2 zerg unit
The Zergling is the first offensive unit of the Zerg in StarCraft 2. The Spawning pool, the pre-requisite to create the Zergling, is needed to build any other unit producing structure as well as to create spine crawlers. The Zergling is a fast, small, and not very durable attacker of the Zerg army. They are so small that you get 2 for only 50 crystal. Zerglings with the speed upgrade can be extremely devastating for quick hit and run attacks and can later be upgraded to have a faster attack speed as well when you attain your Hive. Check out the Strategy videos on the right side for more tips on this. The Zergling is a Light Assault Warrior and has a unit type of Light - Biological.
