Sorry if this has been discussed before. I was wondering, what is humans head like when headcrab jumb off of it? Is it skull or something else? In Traptown video headcrab jumbs off the head but I didn't see what is the head like...
So, if anyone have maybe picture or information about this, tell me, please
 
Well in HL1 it seemed as though the skull would stay but the flesh would be gone, if you look you can see the original humans skull streching the headcrabs skin.

But maybe headcrabs do devour the skulls and we just never got to see it.
 
If you look closely at the scientists' heads that have a headcrab on it, you can see the skull beneath it (eye sockets, mouth). So the headcrab is sucking on it, or so it seems.

In the traptown vid, the guy didn't have a head after the headcrab jumped off of it, so maybe this time they devour it completely, or it shouldn't be analysed too much at this point. It will be evident when we play the game.

Edit: seems like my post is just a repetition of nw909's post. :)
 
Well my guess is that the headcrab destroys the brain inside the skull and somehow directly connects with the spine or brainstem to controle the body(functions). So the skull remains, no idea about the flesh though.
 
maybe when they jump off they take the head (whats left) with them
 
I think the head is still there even when the headcrab jumps off. In the Docks video, when the first zombie starts attacking u after u get the crowbar, you can hear the person yelling (muffled by the headcrab) when it gets hit.
 
In the Traptown video, when the Headcrab jumps off the Zombie, there is nothing left... Just a stump of a neck. Seems weird to me, but I doubt they'll change that. Maybe it's to do with the "variety" of headcrab?

And for the record mooma: I was the first person on these forums with a Spongebob avatar

I win. :)
