Far more ferocious than the normal strain of its kind, this breed of zergling is used by the swarm in its major battles. The Terran who have faced them in combat have come to call them Devouring Ones.
Combat Trait
1
Endless Swarm
Cooldown: 5 Seconds
5 Biomass
While weak individually, zerglings are fearsome in large numbers. When used, this will use biomass to spawn one additional zergling at the Pack Leader's location. Biomass is earned by using abilities or killing minions (1 Biomass) and heroes (5 Biomass). Up to ten zerglings can be on the field at one time. A zergling only counts as a tenth of a hero death, and does not count as a hero for the purposes of objectives and experience gain.
Primary Abilities

Feral Lunge

The zergling leaps at an enemy, dealing 10 (+2 per level) damage.
2
Consuming Bite
Cooldown: 10 Seconds
The zergling bites the target, dealing 12 (+3 damage per level) damage and gaining two biomass.
3
Burrow
Cooldown: 5 Seconds
The zergling burrows, gaining stealth. While burrowed, the zergling cannot move or attack, and has only 50% of normal vision. Using abilities cancels burrow.

Morph Pack Leader
Cooldown: 30 Seconds
Selected zergling becomes the Pack Leader, gaining 100% more HP and dealing 25% more damage. New zerglings will spawn at the Pack Leader. If there was another Pack Leader, it loses Pack Leader.
