Archer

The Archer is an alien cut from Half-Life. It lacked of convincing AI and gameplay goals but was scripted regardless. It can be found in the game files.

Depiction
The Archer is a fish-like creature and therefore was probably to be met in the water. Its four eyes and sharp fangs would have made it a deadly opponent underwater.

Trivia

 * In the Half-Life 2  mod Garry's Mod, an add-on allows the player to spawn an archer. When encountered, it will fire a fast-moving stream of water that damages the player, or it will swim up close and bite you. Because it is fan-made, it is unknown if this was its real purpose.


 * In the Half-Life mod, "Azure Sheep", the Archer is fought in combat, mostly in the chapter "Liquids", where it bites the player with its' teeth. It's sound files are actually extremely distorted Ichthyosaur sounds. It also appears in AS's companion, Point of View.
