Headcrab

The Headcrabs are hostile mobs whose primary means of attacking is by leaping its prey.
==Description==
The Headcrabs are small, four-legged alien parasites of Xen, that roughly resemble uncooked chickens or turkeys, and possess the ability to leap at its target and turning their hosts into Headcrab Zombies.
== Spawning ==
The Headcrabs always spawn in the Xen dimension (most commonly appearing), or the outskirts of the Wastelands at a light level of 7 or less. When the Resonance Cascade event is triggered at Black Mesa laboratories, Headcrabs will also spawn throughout the laboratories alongside other Xen mobs. 
==Behavior==
The Headcrabs' behavior is rather simple and straightforward, once they took notice of the player from 32 blocks away, they will slowly move closer towards the player and begin to attack them. When they get too close to the player, they will emit a shrieking noise and consistently perform a long-distance leap attack that deals 2 (Easy)/4 (Normal)/6 (Hard) damage to the player's health. Most Headcrabs attack in packs of 4 or 6. 
In the Wastelands, certain Headcrabs are known to bury themselves below the surface and when it's unsuspecting prey comes near them, they will immediately crawl out from the ground and begin using their leaping ability to quickly ambush them. 
Headcrabs are aggressive against the player, Villagers, Iron Golems, Scientists, and Security Guards. Vortigaunts, Barnacles, Bullsquids, and Antlions are the Headcrab's natural predators and therefore will prey on them. 
When a Headcrab attacks a Villager, they will automatically turn them into a Headcrab Zombie. 
==Drops==
The Headcrabs will always drop 0 - 1 Dead Headcrabs and 5 experience points when killed by the player. They will also drop 0 - 1 Cooked Headcrabs when killed with fire. Sometimes, Headcrabs will rarely drop 2 - 5 Headcrab Teeth, which has a 30% chance to drop when killed.
==Trivia==
*The Headcrabs are a reference to an alien species of the same name from the Half-Life video game franchise by Valve.
