Baneling

The baneling is a zerg breed.

Mob Info
Banelings will spawn whenever a mob, unprotected player, or another zerg entity is in proximity to a baneling nest or baneling egg nest.

Upon contact with a classic Minecraft mob or unprotected player, the baneling will explode corrosive acid, causing extensive damage to the entity or killing it.

There are multiple varieties of banelings that can be spawned from the baneling nest:

Normal Strain
Normal banelings are green in coloration, and have no special abilities beyond exploding acid.

Hunter Strain
Hunter banelings are purple rather than green, and in addition to exploding, they can jump at least 10 blocks high, allowing them to scale short cliffs when the rest of the Swarm cannot.

Splitter Strain
The splitter strain keeps its green abdomen with purple glands on its back. What separates it from normal banelings is its ability to split into 2 smaller creatures known as baneling spawns.

Kaboomer
Kaboomers are massive banelings spawned from infested structures rather than normal zerg structures. Their damage is much more extensive than normal banelings, though they are much slower.

Gorgeling
The gorgeling closely resembles the hunter, without its abilities.

Terrorling
The terrorling takes on the appearance of a weaponized version of a normal baneling.
