After evolving, a Defiler could produce and spray out massive networks of corrosive blood spores, which could swiftly decay and extinguish all matter. Also known as ‘Blood Plague’, this ability was the same against any opponent; be it building structures or armies, it would equally deal hefty damages. No matter allied or foe, all will be affected.
Once the decaying process began, the plague would deliver damage over time to any affected unit; until it finishes!
Although that Defiler was instantly killed, amongst the densest congregated mass of aerial forces, many creatures had started flapping their wings frantically and releasing horrifying anguished wails. It was obvious, they had been contaminated by the plague of spores; the decaying seeping into their flesh and vitality.
