Bloodling - Ripstrike [Agility] {Melee to short range}

Ripstrike was just a Zergling that during the Brood War was pushed into a pit of evolutionary genetic material. When he came up, he was forever changed. Evolving to be faster, stronger, and more aggressive. The standard Zergling turned into a bloodlusting creature that could rip apart enemies with six sharp blade bearing arms. The Bloodling even accidently acquired the ability to regenerate quickly and a limited ability to fire volleys of deadly viral spines.

Ripstrike was feared by Kerrigan to be too powerful for an underling, but when it killed the powerful Omegalisk and sustained little damage she reconsidered the Bloodlings fate. Kerrigan increased Ripstrike's strength and gave it the ability to control a small amount of Zerg units.

Abilities

Rallying Bark (friendly buff): All Zerg units in range of Ripstrike increase in strength and attack speed, but suffer from weakened armor and may go into Bloodlust, a side effect that makes the Zerg attack each other.

Viral Spines: An ability that costs 50 hp. Ripstrike launches a volley of three spines at the enemy and poisons the targeted group. The virus given takes 60 hp over the period of 12 seconds. This ability has no effect on mechanical or air units. Use on biological or psionic units only.

Trapdoor: An ability that costs 25 hp. Ripstrike quickly burrows underground to escape. This ability enables Ripstrike to move while burrowed. Giving him time to regenerate.

Regenerate (passive): Ripstrike has the rapid regeneration ability that the Roaches are infamous for. With an upgrade, Ripstrike can heal even in combat.

Bloodseek (self buff): Ripstrike goes into a frenzy to kill all enemies. Damage taken increases by 1.5 times usual. The Bloodling's attack strength and speed increase, as well as movement speed. Lasts for 30 seconds.

Increased Armor and Attack (passive): When this is increased, Ripstrike's carapace is strengthened and his attack strength is increased. Making his lethality much more terrible for any enemy in his way.
