Zerglings are the smallest mainline zerg strain apart from the larvae and chitha. Equivalent in size to a large dog, zerglings are one meter tall and possess webbed feet. Zerglings possess sickle limbs and sharp incisor teeth, used primarily for tearing into flesh. Further mutations may be made to zergling DNA, namely the alteration of their physiology through a metabolic boost to increase their reflexes and rate of movement and the mutation of their adrenal glands, changing their glandular balance to induce a battle frenzy. These adrenal glands have been observed to be unusually large for a creature of the zergling's size. Further analysis has revealed evidence of genetic manipulation, which also increased zergling aggression, driving them into a state of frenzy. In such a state, zerglings can bring down armored vehicles and structures with ease. Dominion marines have referred to such zerglings as "speedlings."
