monster_bullchicken - Point Entity

Bullsquids are solitary predators, part of Xen's wildlife. They are fiercely territorial, and have a special hatred against headcrabs (assumed to be their natural prey). They are often found alone, eating from a carcass. They either spit acid from a distance or run towards their target to bite or whip it with their tail.
