monster_alien_slave is a point entity available in Half-Life Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift 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.pngAltNames: This entity is also tied to monster_vortigaunt.
Note.pngNote:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, or effect flags might not affect an monster, based on the functionality and coding of the monster.
Cpp-16px.pngCode: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.
