Half-Life Hints
Bullchickens (Bullsquids)
Bullchickens are probably the most unpredictable creatures you will meet in the game. They can charge and attack you up close, or they can fire a glob of corrosive mucus at you from a distance. Sometimes, bullchickens will remain oblivious to you until you get really close or fire at them. Sometimes they will just fire their green mucus at you. Other times they will charge you for no reason other than to spit at you up close or throw you around with their facial tentacles.
Occasionally, bullchickens will deal with other aliens or humans before getting to you. Two to three shotgun blasts to the main body mass of a bullchicken will kill it.
