Bullsquids, Vortigaunts, barnacles and antlions will all eat headcrabs and Vortigaunts can be seen cooking them in several locations in-game. The games also establish that while headcrabs are parasites that prey on humans, they are also the prey of the creatures of their homeworld. Headcrabs and headcrab zombies die slowly when they catch fire. The converted humans are more resilient than an ordinary human would be and inherit the headcrab's resilience toward toxic and radioactive materials. Headcrabs seek out larger human hosts, which are converted into zombie-like mutants that attack any living lifeform nearby. However, they can leap long distances and heights. They are also relatively slow-moving and their attacks inflict very little damage. Physically, headcrabs are frail: a few bullets or a single strike from the player's melee weapon being sufficient to dispatch them.

Under the headcrab's body is a large rounded mouth surrounded by mangled, rigid flesh with a sharp claw-like beak. Their pair of large frontal claws are for attacking, and as additional support when standing still. The common headcrab variant has rounded bodies with four legs for movement, two of which are long clawed legs at the front and two stubby legs at the back. Images shown are representative only and final product may vary.Headcrabs are depicted as parasitic lifeforms roughly 2 feet (0.61 m) long. Cast in high quality poly-stone, the statue is hand finished and hand painted to exacting standards. Highly limited at only 750 pieces available worldwide. He measures approximately 20 inches tall, including the base, and comes packed in a foam interior full colored box with a validation card which ensures your product is genuine. We're proud to announce our Headcrab Zombie collectible statue! He staggers towards you in a tortured walk, resulting in a living, breathing Headcrab Zombie brought to life! You can almost hear his groans and muffled screams of "Oh God, help me!".

Headcrab Zombies signal their presence through various muffled groans and grunts, sometimes mixed with agonized screams.

These creatures attach themselves to their hosts' bodies, taking control of their nervous system and causing bizarre physical changes, such as an exposed chest cavity (known as the maw) and fingers that form into long, sharp claws. Headcrab Zombies are unlucky former humans that have been attacked by alien parasites known as Headcrabs. Gaming Heads is excited to be kicking off our Half-Life® 2 range of 1/4 scale statues with one of the most iconic zombies ever, the Headcrab Zombie!
