*'''Damage''': Instant death if it manages to pull you up to the top where its mouth is.

Barnacles are stationary aliens that attach to ceilings. They have extremely long and sticky tongues that they hang down from the ceiling. These can be hard to see, especially if the barnacle is stationed up on a high ceiling. If something wanders under the barnacle and touched its tongue, the barnacle will immediately begin reeling it in. If you wander into a barnacle's tongue, the same will happen to you. If you do not kill the barnacle by the time you are sucked into its jaws, you will be instantly killed. Thankfully, however, it only takes one swipe of the [[Half-Life/Weapons#Crowbar|crowbar]] to kill a barnacle, so if you do get caught by one, simply swipe the barnacle when you reach its mouth. This will not save you from falling damage, however. Barnacles will not distinguish between you and an enemy, and can be used as traps to snag [[#Human Grunt|marines]].

The [[Half-Life/Weapons#9mm Pistol|pistol]] or crowbar are recommended for taking out barnacle- anything more powerful is a waste of ammo. | ||
