Description: Fast Headcrabs look much like normal Headcrabs, except that have smoother-skinned bodies with elongated limbs. They’re very quick, running much faster than regular Headcrabs, with a higher degree of agility and a marked ability to climb surfaces. Much like their large and slower brethren, Fast Headcrabs try to pounce on unsuspecting targets so they can turn then into Headcrab Zombies.
Designer's Notes: The Fast Headcrab is one of the alien creatures found in Valve Software’s Half Life 2 series of games. Much of the information here was taken from direct game play, as well as the Combine OverWiki, found at http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. The stats given here are a mix of conjecture, game play descriptions, and an attempt to present in-game concepts in a manner consistent with the HERO System.
