The Headcrabs and Zombies are an iconic part of the Half-Life series. Over the years, new variants appeared over the wasteland - but where did they come from? The Armoured, Lightning, Fast and Poison had to come from somewhere.

Who is Jeff? How did the Headcrab's hosts feel when they connected? and how did the Combine use Xen's creatures to control humanity? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the Zombies and Headcrabs in Half-Life.
