Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
Barnacles
These are the big, sludgy guys that are stuck to ceilings and can't change position. They just extend their long tongues down, hoping some edible prey will stumble into them.
If a barnacle isn't very far up, or is over water, the best way to kill it is to whack it with the crowbar as soon as you're in range (and before it starts chewing on you). Otherwise, just avoid them or shoot them with something you have a lot of ammo for.
