FYI the lightning dog is actually a new form of headcrab, but it can go onto heads or by going into the belly of a host. so technically you can't exactly beat the game without killing one headcrab, just a fun fact Edit: uhh sorry to make people pissed I thought it was an interesting thing, didn't mean to sound rude or anything so uh my bad they might not be headcrabs yknow I'm probably very wrong
The FANDOM wiki doesn't mention once that it's a headcrab and IGN states that it's "Not quite a headcrab". Finally, no official source has ever mentioned once that it is a head crab
The amount of references in this video are.. alarming. My favourite is when he said “and we got on the midnight train to, who knows where.” Honestly, great video.
I’m pretty sure when the head crab isn’t moving after you shoot the host that means you killed it with the host. This is because a head crab is needed to be alive to control its host, meaning that it couldn’t have controlled the zombie while it’s dead. I could be wrong though.
