Kranion Soldier – Headcrab / Facehugger / Baneling Inspired Enemy (Unity 3d Game Asset)

Description

A concept familiar to sci-fi movies…the gross hand-shaped bug thing that attaches to a person’s face. Also seen in classic sci-fi games…that strangely similar bug thing that attaches to your head…sort of crab like. This infectious monster parasite is much to be feared.

This is 1 of 3 versions. This is the Soldier version, differing from the other two in that he has a faceplate and spines. See the other 2 in my store page.

Meet the Kranion! This is a creature just like those sci-fi bugs that parasitize on the face or head of the host and take control, implanting babies, poisoning, doing damage, or controlling the mind.

This creature is inspired in part from the concept of a “Headcrab” (Half Life) or “Baneling” (Starcraft) or “Facehugger” (Alien).
