Half-Life: The Lore Behind Houndeyes
Ойындар
The Houndeye look fairly harmless with their one eye and three legs, but they could destroy a target with simply a sound. Where did it come from and what is its purpose? I went to the Half-Life universe to find out.
I started Skyrionn to go back and look at easter eggs and the little details in classic video games. From that, I’ve moved on to looking at timelines and lore in video games.

@@TheIsleMercenariesReal Since Houndeyes starve from hunger in HL2 beta, they probably died out of hunger. They also probably died out from Antlion infestation, and Combine Units hunting them down.

The Houndeyes and Bullsquids were in HL2 Beta, Houndeye would be thin because no food, the Bullsquid would turn red for unknown reasons, and an Aquatic bullsquid would exist too, the Aquatic Bullsquid would be in Canals and act as a crocodile maybe
Fun fact: Houndeyes in Half Life we’re initially supposed to be friendly creatures. But during the first player testing phases, players wouldn’t let them live long enough to see their friendly personality.
As a kid I was scared by the Houndeyes because they looked like dogs with some of their body chopped off

Houndeyes were modeled as much more skinny for HL2 but deleted. Tells me they're still around in certain biomes. Might not live in the black sea region.
Houndeyes are more akin to sheep rather than dogs, except for their sounds. They don't seem to have any sense of smell, and rely on their sight mostly (their "eye" is basically an enlarged housefly eye). It is also interesting how quickly they adapted to Earth and human flesh as food. On Xen, they don't seem to have any viable option for food, as most creatures are bigger and stronger than them (though they could outrun all of them). Even those which arrived to Earth eventually died out, as they could be easily killed by common household tools.

Why on Xen they could kill headcrabs easily, even solo. In packs, they deal enough damage to kill Vortiguants and even Bullsquids. And perhaps there's other smaller critters which are non-enemies in Xen.

They're just really loud puppies and i love them
Houndeyes are one of the few HL creatures Inwant as a pet
I initially was recommended this video after seeing videos of dogs born without spines. So they look like shortened dogs. What frightening creatures. What a unique and rich world.
Can’t wait for the Gman lore video
Just got an ad that was a rickroll on this video, WHY
Half Life 1 Houndeyes: Chonky Alien bulldog Half Life 2 Houndeyes: Starving street dogs
Evem tho houndeyes are hostile in half life 1 and black mesa,i still want to adopt one.
I never knew that if ganged up they could produce a stronger attack I’m sure it’s not surprising since I think usually You’re put up with 3 at most

Gargantuas weren't that initiative and unique monsters, apart from the flamethrower-arms. Their whole appearance just suggests that they're Xenomorph rip-offs with a huge inflated head. Headcrabs are also very similar to facehuggers from the _Alien_ saga.

At the highest level of the Lambda Reactor, the scientist tells you that "quite a few handsome specimens" were collected from Xen, but does not specify which ones. Since you can find headcrabs and a bullsquid in Lambda core at the weapons research area, it's somewhat safe to assume that either headcrabs or bullsquids were brought to Earth first, and the rest of them got teleported when Freeman caused the portal to open wide.
