Secret Alien
Go to calhouns locker. If you see a box at the bottom of his locker, shoot it. It takes a while but eventualy the box will break. When it does, a short purple alien will appear.

Houndeyes
These are the stripy, bouncy little freaks that hop around and whimper like puppies until you come within range, and then start building up a sonic burst to hit you with. They're very easy to kill, even with the crowbar, as long as they aren't attacking in packs. If they are, use some dodge-and-fire tactics to pick them off one by one without taking any damage.

Headcrabs
These are the little crab-like things with big, toothy mouths that jump at you at close range. These monsters are very easy to kill, but sometimes a little hard to hit. The best strategy is to shoot them from a distance, before they come within jumping-at-you range. It is possible to knock them out of the air with the crowbar without them hurting you, but it isn't easy, and therefore isn't advised. Another way to deal with them is to sidestep them quickly when they jump at you, and then whack them with the crowbar before they can turn and jump again. Also, you can wait for them around a corner, and quickly whack them when they appear. They're very bad at turning corners quickly and can't jump sideways or backwards.

Alien Slaves (Lightning Lugs)
These are the slimy, one-eyed, humanoid guys that charge up and fire a painful electric blast at you. You should always rapidly damage these creatures when they're charging up so they can't fire. Either that, or duck behind something quick. Both the crowbar and 9mm handgun require many hits to kill lightning lugs, so the shotgun is the preferred basic weapon to use against them (until you get a nice MP5, anyway). An interesting thing to note about these creatures is that they often try to run away once they're heavily damaged. They'll also stop firing temporarily, but do chase them and take them down as quickly as you can. Another note is that they can fire faster on Difficult level, making them much harder to dodge.

Barnacles
These are the big, sludgy guys that are stuck to ceilings and can't change position. They just extend their long tongues down, hoping some edible prey will stumble into them. If a barnacle isn't very far up, or is over water, the best way to kill it is to whack it with the crowbar as soon as you're in range (and before it starts chewing on you). Otherwise, just avoid them or shoot them with something you have a lot of ammo for.

Zombies (Hybrids)
These are the shambling humanoid creeps with long, hideous fingers that are the end result of a headcrab killing and infiltrating a human's body. These things have no ranged attack, but they have two different styles of arm swings, one of which is very fast. This makes it dangerous but possible to take them out with the crowbar if you back off quickly after every crowbar hit. (Though if you've got plenty of shells, a double-barrel shotgun blast at close range is preferable.)
