![]() ![]() When faced with a superior enemy, Vortigaunts will often retreat, and if possible, group together with other Vortigaunts to form a stronger force. ![]() Throughout the Half-Life series, they can be seen in pairs or groups, and are capable of developing intelligent strategies. Vortigaunts are very intelligent and social creatures. Their feet, while previously ending in a single hoof-like claw, now take on a more avian or ancient equine appearance with three clawed digits.Īnother interesting feature of the Vortigaunts is that they can speak English fluently, albeit with a strange accent similar to African and some sort of speech impediment when using S's and R's. Instead of the hands ending in two digits, an opposable thumb can now be seen on each hand. In Half-Life: Alyx, Vortigaunts appear slightly different. However, in the original game, their model depicts a large red eye surrounded by 5 smaller ones instead of the three surrounding eyes depicted from Half-Life 2 onward. Vortigaunts have a slightly hunched posture, and their faces are dominated by a large eye with a maroon Sclera and a Heterochromic red-yellow iris with a yellow pupil, surrounded by three smaller eyes. Vortigaunts have mottled green-brown skin, sharp teeth, and clawed hands. They are capable of using their arms to run like a quadruped, to cover large distances. However, Vortigaunts are also shown able to use their green energy through this third arm in Half-Life: Alyx. Apparently, this third arm is used for feeding, as both Vortigaunts and Alien Grunts are often seen bending over slain victims, feeding on them. This similarity, along with other shared features such as red eyes and digitigrade legs, is strongly suggestive of a common ancestry with other intelligent Xen life forms. This extra limb is a feature also found in other bipedal, sapient species from Xen, including the Alien Grunt and the Nihilanth. In appearance, Vortigaunts are somewhat humanoid, with two legs and two arms and an additional third arm protruding from the chest. 9.3.2 Half-Life 2 and its episodes (sometimes changed).1.3 Communication and the "Vortessence". ![]()
