monster_babycrab - Point Entity

Tiny baby headcrabs, the same ones that are spawned by the Gonarch (Big Momma). They are smaller and more agile than normal headcrabs, and slightly transparent as well. This makes them difficult to see and hit, turning them into a very annoying enemy if the player is not equipped with a hive hand. They only have 25% as much health as a normal headcrab, and deal only 30% as much damage.
