Size of Headcrabs, Attached vs Un-Attached

[jimmyjam]

If you've ever actually done that, you'd clearly see that the detached crab is definately smaller than an attached one. I actually performed this test yesterday before I even read this post.

I don't think their the same model either. A zombie is one model.. not two.

there's a very easy way to check this, and checking it would prove you so, so wrong

I was wondering as i've never seen a AntLion cub is it possible that Headcrabs are a junior AntLion.

Have you even played Half Life?..Let alone Half Life 2? :flame:

I think VGCats puts it best....

headcrabs headcouple, crap, and get spawned contineously by gonarches.

Zombies are 2 models (more in the case of posion zombies)

Then it stands to reason, based on your post..that the headcrabs change people & feed off of them. Which would lead them to grow larger, correct? Based on that conclusion that would lead to a second conclusion that if Ravenholme was left alone for long enough time all the zombies would be dead because the headcrabs would keep feeding off of them. Kind of like the movie "28 Days" If this is true why would Father Grigori even bother killing zombies then, if he could just "wait them out"?

I'd say that Grigori wants to put them out of their misery. I dont know about you guys, but i reckon the zombies are at least partially human, and that part of the human is suffering a huge amount of pain from the headcrab. If the headcrab were to have total control over the body, there'd be no need for the zombies moaning/screaming.

its either that or he just likes to drop cars on them/burn them/shoot them for fun!
