Skitch

Good

"Don't move. One bite and you'll be death by your next breath."

- Alyx Vance

Skitch (also known as Snitch ) is a female alien cut from Half-Life 2 who was to belong to Alyx. From an unknown species, it was likely to come from Xen.

Overview
Skitch was suggested during the first year of development, when Dog was just a rough idea and belonged to Eli Maxwell only. She was to have long "hypodermic teeth" that could apparently kill. She was to be met for the first time when Gordon was to meet up with Alyx near the Air Exchange after his train crashed.

It was later merged with Dog as Alyx's pet, while Kleiner ended up as the character owning a female pet alien, the Headcrab Lamarr.

Trivia
As seen on Dhabih Eng's official website, "Arbitrer", a picture made in 2000, shows a similar creature. Another picture, "Jack", made in 1999, also shows a related creature.
