Vorts, alien grunts maybe, and probably other ayys we don't see.

Vorts/Grunts/Nihilanth are not native to Xen. It's possible the headcrabs aren't either.

what's the point of inducing TERRIBLE FUCKING PAIN AND TORTURE to their living suffering hosts while it mutates them into whatever the fuck the zombies are turning into?
Is this thing even supposed to work or is the headcrab and the victim just suffering from incompatibilities and that's why they're fucking monsters?

Whatever native life was around.

It simply didn't dull the pain. A parasite doesn't give a fuck about the host as long as it helps them reproduce

Nothing is native to Xen. It's a floating refuse pile in between dimensions.

Intermediate hosts gets fucked. Final hosts aka the parasite's home don't get wrecked. Like worms, you only know you're being parasited when theyve reproduced so much they're coming out of your ass. Headcrabs shouldnt ruin the host, otherwise both faggots die

I assume you meant to reply to >>718161143
In that case: yes, it is a parasite infesting snails making their antenna grow fat and pulsate with that weird scheme. They also abandon their natural behaviour and instead climb up to a high place on a tree/plant. The alleged logic behind it is that the parasite controls and initiates that behaviour, as it is assumed to attract birds which will eat those antenna, which are in fact full of those parasites and this is assumed to be their reproduction cycle step

NTA btw, so maybe the guy that posted the gif has another answer

I didn't read it myself. Just shat out what I remembered, so maybe better rely on that source
