Stukabat

The Stukabat is an alien cut from Half-Life. It can be found in the game files.

Behavior and skills
A bat-like creature with six eyes, the Stukabat would have been met in open spaces - at least during the Half-Life chapter Blast Pit - and attack the player from the air with its claws. According to its animations, it was able to hang itself on ceilings like a normal bat, and walk on the ground after being forced on it, aided by its single rear leg and its wings.

Trivia

 * The Stukabat's name was probably inspired by that of the German Junkers Ju 87, which was nicknamed "Stuka" (from "Sturzkampfflugzeug", "dive bomber").
 * The Half-Life mods Half-Life: Renaissance, Half-Life: Point of View and Sven Co-op include a fully working Stukabat NPC.
