Ecology: Fast Headcrab Zombies are similar in many ways to regular Headcrab Zombies, except they are far faster and agile. They also tend to actively hunt their prey through the ruined cities of Earth, opposed to regular Zombies, which are more prone to lurking in wait.

Personality/Motivation: As with Headcrab Zombies, a Fast Headcrab Zombie doesn’t have a personality remaining. They are driven by the whims of their Headcrab controllers (which tend to be ones of expand territory and propagate.)

Powers/Tactics: Much stronger than a normal person, and far faster, Fast Headcrab Zombies race through city streets and leap from building to building in pursuit of prey. They prefer leaping at their targets from some distance away, knocking into them (and knocking them down) before slashing at them with their claws.

Appearance: A Fast Headcrab Zombie is a heavily mutated human. They’ve apparently lost all of their skin and appear as lean and elongated humanoids with exposed muscles and sinews. Unlike regular Zombies, they no longer wear any clothes.

Designer's Notes: The Fast Headcrab Zombie is one of the 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.
