Flocking Floater

The Flocking Floater is an alien enemy 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
Described as a "living balloon" with a faintly glowing head, it is held aloft by buoyant gases trapped in its head membrane. The wing on its rear portion is fully articulated like a bat wing, tipped with poisonous spines, and serves as a sail. It has feathery antennae, much like a moth, as its only sensory organ, "tasting" air to look for group mates or food. Passive when not attacked, it was to use an orifice to shoot projectile at the player with gas when attacked.



Trivia
Appears in the Half-Life mod Absolute Redemption.
