A headcrab is a small monster from the Half-Life series. They are one of the most common hostile NPCs, and due to their relatively low health may be considered one of the easier opponents. Headcrabs attack by lunging at and biting the player.

Zombies are former humans who now host a headcrab attached to the facial region. Sometimes when a zombie is killed, the headcrab will detach from the face and attack the player.
