Headcrabs are the first enemy encountered in the game. They're rather weak, but can be dangerous in groups. Headcrabs are usually found hiding in damp or dark areas, waiting for prey to ambush. When attacking, they launch themselves at their intended victim's head, making a screeching sound. If they successfully attach to an NPC's head, they will dig into its brain and turn it into a zombie (see below). Headcrabs are best taken out at a distance with the [[Half-Life/Weapons#9mm Pistol|pistol]] or, later in the game, the [[Half-Life/Weapons#Hivehand|hivehand]] from a distance. If you are good at dodging their jump attacks or are encountering them in close quarters, you may also choose run up and hit them with the [[Half-Life/Weapons#Crowbar|crowbar]]. | Headcrabs are the first enemy encountered in the game.

Zombies, or mawmen, are humans that have fallen victim to headcrabs (see above). The infestation has mutated their hands into long, sharp claws, and there is a giant gaping hole in their torsos. MZombies are usually found standing around or feeding on corpses, but are sometimes found on the floor, feigning death until they are shot or someone approaches. They only have one form of melee attack and no form of long distance attack. Zombies are rather slow and can easily be taken out with a [[Half-Life/Weapons#Crowbar|crowbar]] if you step back after each few crowbar swings to avoid the zombie's pathetically slow claw swipes. Alternatively, you can use the [[Half-Life/Weapons#9mm Pistol|pistol]] at long range or if you need to take them out quickly. | |||
