[edit] Overview
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.[1]
It was to be seen at least on Xen.[2]
[edit] Behavior and skills
It has feathery antennae, much like a moth (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.[1]
[edit] Trivia
It appears in the Half-Life mod Absolute Redemption.
