===Zergling Tactics===
Zerglings are quick to join the fray, charging to stike the nearest enemy, but are driven by their own cruel cunning, even when not directed by a greater intelligence. If more than three zerglings are engaging an enemy, others will disengage and charge another foe. Groups will attempt to flank enemies to gain an advantage and cut off retreat. Their prey find it nearly impossible to get past their lunging claws and bodies once they've been surrounded. Even so, their attacks are little more than an artless blur of frenzied slashing, as they do not select priority targets, tearing into whatever is nearest.

===Zergling Horde Tactics===
A zergling horde acts similarly to a smaller group at first. They will either lie in wait until prey approaches or, if caught in the open, charge directly into battle. However, they then attempt to surround a single foe, dragging it to ground while striking at as many others as possilbe. Unless directed by a higher intelligence, they do not chose priority targets, merely positioning themselves to cause as much mayhem as physically possible.

===Winged Zergling Tactics===
Winged zerglings act much as their lesser kin, only more swiftly. Using their nearly-vestigal wings to perform long leaps, they launch themselves into the fray, sending their unfortunate prey sprawling.
