Broodling (StarCraft II)

The broodling is a StarCraft II unit.

Spawning
Broodlings are created from brood lord attacks.

Broodlings are created when some zerg structures are destroyed.

In Heart of the Swarm, when Kerrigan reaches a certain level, she gains the ability to infect enemies she attacks with broodling spores. Enemy units killed quickly enough after being damaged by Kerrigan's attacks or abilities spawn two broodlings.

Development
The broodling used to be known as the mantaling.
