monster_alien_slave is a point entity available in 
Half-Life, 
Half-Life: Opposing Force, and 
Half-Life: Blue Shift.
Spawns a hostile vortigaunt, a small but vicious alien with the ability to claw and shoot lightning at the player or other NPCs. This monster is affected by gravity, meaning if it's positioned mid-air in the editor, it will fall to the nearest BSP brush below it when the map runs.
AltNames: This entity is also tied to monster_vortigaunt. 
Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, or effect flags might not affect an monster, based on the functionality and coding of the monster.Code:Vortigaunts have code which animates from skin 0 to skin 4 while they are charging their ranged attack. This feature goes unused because vanilla models only have one skin, but can be enabled without any code modifications using a custom model.Key Values
