Poison headcrabs can not kill you, but they bring you down to 1 health in a single attack, making you easy picking for anything nearby. Poison headcrabs are big, slow and ponderous, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they aren’t dangerous. While they don’t cause more damage per attack than the regular ones, they attack more often, and are harder to hit, so present a bigger threat. They move very quickly and attack viciously and repeatedly. Spindly and almost spider like, the fast headcrabs are hyperactive cousins to the regular ones.

They will try to eat anything (literally), and will grab birds, barrels, Combine or anything else that touches their tentacle. The sewers of City 17 are crawling with these nasty, pulsating mouths. There are also as many varieties of zombie as there are headcrab now, each with it's own unique new attacks.Īlways hungry, and nearly everywhere, the Barnacle is also back from Black Mesa. Also, they now can get chopped in half, and their upper torso will continue to crawl after you. Killing the host body does not mean the headcrab is dead, so aim for the head. They no longer simply wait in tunnels to spring out at you, Headcrabs are found everywhere, and have even overtaken the village of Ravenholm, being used as a biological weapon by the Combine and launched into populated areas. Essentially the same creature, headcrabs have evolved since the we first saw them, now coming in Fast and Poison varieties. These ferocious little crustaceans have returned from the original game. Make sure to read up on these nasties or you may end up as lunch, or worse.

In Half-Life 2, you’re going to have to murder a lot of hostile beings in order to save the day.
