Baneling Nest

The Baneling Nest is a Zerg building that enables a Zerg player to build and upgrade Banelings. The only upgrade available at the Baneling Nest is the Centrifugal Hooks; which increases Baneling movement speed.

Overview

The zerg hive cluster must have a baneling nest to add the baneling breed’s genetic code. Once a nest is in place, any zergling on the field can be commanded to form a fleshy chrysalis for a brief pupation state, and then it will burst forth as a baneling.

Baneling nests possess the ability to detonate themselves.

Co-op Missions

Banelings and the baneling nest are exclusive to Zagara. She unlocks additional upgrades for them at Level 11. Once Zagara reaches Level 7, all baneling nests are upgraded with birthing chambers that cause them to automatically spawn banelings regularly. Baneling nests can store up to four charges of banelings, and gain one charge every 30 seconds. After reaching Level 7, Zagara can not create more than one Baneling Nest.

ZERG – THE SPAWN OF THE SWARM

WILD. FATIGUE. FLEXIBLE.

Once artificially created by the mighty Xel`Naga, the Zerg would eventually lead to their demise and become a threat to the entire galaxy. Because of their collective consciousness, this species is often referred to simply as “the Swarm.” In their quest for perfection, the Zerg adopt advantageous and superior gene strands into their own gene pool, wiping out “inferior” species in the process.

Zerg Buildings

While the Protoss rely on technological superiority and the Terrans on their adaptability, the savage Zerg rely mostly on pure mass. The mostly lightly armored creatures usually pounce on their opponents from all sides on the battlefield, leaving only a picture of devastation in their wake.
