A headcrab is a fictional alien parasitoid first appearing as an enemy in Valve's 1998 video game ''Half-Life'', as well as in subsequent games in the ''Half-Life'' series.

Players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist who must escape the Black Mesa Research Facility after it is invaded by aliens.

Unlike other games of the time, the player has almost uninterrupted control of the player character, and the story is told mostly in scripted sequences rather than cutscenes.
