Charger (Xen creature)

Good

The Charger 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.

Overview
The Charger was to be a two-legged insect-like creature, with a small head dotted with two moving flaps (possibly ears) that could cover its head completely. It was to have seven eyes, three big and four small, randomly spread on its face, and six pointed teeth.

While its model is more insect-like, its original concept was more like "a demonic a bipedal monster", without wings and a ruminant-like tail.

Behavior and skills
Its animations show it constantly flying, its wings moving very faster, and apparently not using much its legs. It seems that when noticing the player, it was to charge towards them, wrapping its head in its flaps, probably to increase velocity, then hitting the player with its legs at the end of its course. Other animations show him firing with its mouth, likely some toxic spit in the same vein of the Bullsquid or the Antlion Worker.
