Capabilitites of the Changeling.

[Kacaier]

And how is a Changeling supposed to kill an entire Protoss group? Maybe he manages to kill one by surprise, then the others (not to mention the guards) will react, and destroy the abomination, discovering his true form.

Well, of course it can't kill everyone as The_Blade stated, but it only needs to kill one person. That person could be Selendis or Artanis, and that's all it needs to kill.

And with Zerg being hive-minded, it doesn't matter if it gets exposed afterward. Zerg are the perfect suicide bombers.

The main idea behind assassinating a Khalai Protoss with a Changeling Dark Templar would be to turn the Protoss factions against each other. All the changeling would have to do would be to take the form of a Dark Templar, and be seen killing the other Protoss.

If the changeling managed to kill the Khalai Protoss, escaping would be as easy as changing form from a Dark Templar into a Khalai Protoss while behind a corner, and wandering away during the commotion. The Dark Templar would be assumed to have cloaked itself, and the changeling would be able to escape.

(Also - it makes sense that the changelings would seemingly be able to replicate armor & clothing in order to disguise themselves properly - whether or not it did this in the story "Changeling" isn't really too important, but it is still curious).
