Well, most of us know from the previews that there are two or more new species of headcrab hanging around in HL2, as well as our old friend, the Original Off-White Greasy Little Lump With Legs (The headcrab from HL).
What I've been wondering is, where do the new species come from? Where were they while HL was happening?
As I see it, they could be:
A. Mutations from Earth's non-Xenian conditions.
B. Genetic experiments.
C. Subspecies from different places on Xen.
D. Different casts within a hive-like headcrab social structure.
Anyone care to discuss?
(And I've noticed a prevalence of beta spoilers around lately, most of which seem to have been ignored by the mods. So I'll say this here, in the hope that any wankers who might post a spoiler save themselves the trouble: NO FREAKING BETA SPOILERS! SPECULATION ONLY! IF YOU'VE PLAYED THE BETA IN ANY DETAIL, BUGGER OFF!)
