Bengalaas

From StarCraft Wiki

"These noble cats are truly one of nature's finest and deadliest creations."

―Dr. Benjamin Slater^src

The bengalaas is a felinoid life-form native to Aiur, appearing as a critter in-game. Its name is a variation on the Bengal Tiger, but it is actually closer to a panther in appearance and habitat preference. Bengalaases hunt in packs.

The bengalaas is a fearsome predator, and has been noted to "play" with their prey like a house cat plays with a mouse. Their pack hunting tactics are acutely intelligent, capable of bringing down prey several times their size.^[1]

Some bengalaases are kept in the terran-operated Bengalaas Exhibit.^[2]

[edit] Notes

Bengalaas disappear in a blue flash like protoss organic units when killed in-game. At least for the protoss this is caused by a teleportation device to retrieve wounded soldiers.
