Description
A successful Headcrab attack on a human victim is called Zombie. Headcrab's alien physiology causes various mutations to rapidly manifest in its host, such as elongated claws, increased strength, and a sharp-toothed, sideways mouth that bisects the victim's chest cavity from neck to groin (this last feature has caused some fans to dub this mutation as "Mawmen"). The results of these mutations may depend on the type of host and/or the length of time the headcrab is attached.
In most cases, a headcrab remains attached to its host until destroyed, but they also have the ability to detach from the host if it is damaged significantly. Removal of the headcrab reveals that the host's face has been largely eaten away by the creature, leaving behind merely a skull, eyes, and minor residual tissue. Horrified sounds emanating from zombie imply that, while severely wounded, the host creature is at least partially aware of its horrific situation.
