Panther Eye

The Panther Eye, also known as Panthereye, is an alien enemy cut from Half-Life. While not in the game files, its source files can be found in the Half-Life SDK files, where its folder bears the name "Diablo".

Overview
Like many of the Xen creatures, it has a single eye and is especially very similar to the Vortigaunt. Its first model was blue, while its second was red. Originally created for Quiver, it was first called "Sound Dog". This theme relates to the Houndeye, bearing a similar name.

Behavior and skills

 * Of the size of a panther, it was to throw its victims on the ground and attack them somehow with its mouth and some sort of beige tongue located behind its chin, while blocking them with its paws.
 * It was also to slash victims with the claws of its upper paws.
 * Other animations see it crawling on its belly so that its victim cannot notice it.
 * It was to run very fast, making it a very efficient opponent, and waving its tail while being idle.
 * Overall, its behavior was to be more or less like a panther or any feline animal from earth, hence its name.

Trivia
It has since appeared in several mods, notably Azure Sheep, Point of View and They Hunger 3.
