monster_alien_slave - Point Entity

These Vortigaunts have been enslaved by Nihilanth, and are forced to work and fight as part of his military forces. Often found in groups, they will flee from the player when they are wounded and on their own. There are some areas in Xen where they will ignore the player, until an alien controller shows up. This indicates that Nihilanth relies on controllers to keep the Vortigaunts enslaved.

Their main attack is a charged electrical beam that can only be dodged by breaking line of sight or by moving out of range, so they are best employed in areas that offer some cover to the player. At close range they will attack with their claws.
