Npc headcrab

Entity Description

Headcrab

These are the classic, slow-moving headcrabs. They attack by jumping at the player's head and inflict a nominal amount of damage. Remember to avoid the cliche of placing headcrabs in vents; they would likely be more of an annoyance than a improvement on gameplay. Almost any weapon can dispatch them easily - it is usually a matter of how long it will take. Try pairing them with their fast-moving or poisonous relatives to make it more interesting.

Commonly found attached to a zombie host body, they will detach if that host is sufficiently damaged.

Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
