== Lamarr == Introduced in ''Half-Life 2'', Lamarr is a headcrab belonging to [[Doctor Isaac Kleiner]]. Having been debeaked, thereby eliminating her ability to attach to and control a host, Lamarr has been rendered into a semi-tame pet for Kleiner and a nuisance to anyone else with whom she comes into contact. Kleiner states, "The worst she might do is attempt to couple with your head…fruitlessly," behavior that leads [[Barney Calhoun]] to say, "Freakin' head-humper." Lamarr is named after the late 1930s [[actor|actress]] and [[inventor]] [[Hedy Lamarr]], as evidenced when Dr. Kleiner alternatively calls her Hedy in the conclusion of the chapters "Red-Letter Day" and "Entanglement." Lamarr serves as the catalyst for the first few chapters of the single-player campaign in ''Half-Life 2''. When [[Gordon Freeman]] attempts to use Kleiner's teleporter, Lamarr jumps from a vent and damages it while Gordon's teleport is in progress, which forces Gordon to proceed on foot once the malfunction subsides. When Alyx and Gordon return to the lab some time later, Lamarr escapes her cage, and Alyx has to stay behind to help Kleiner catch her, as Kleiner refuses to leave without her. Lamarr makes her final appearance in ''Half-Life 2'' after the credits, dropping down into a black background and then leaping toward the screen as part of a [[post-credits scene|stinger sequence]]. Lamarr is safe and sound in ''Episode One'', where she makes a brief cameo appearance, causing further mischief to Dr. Kleiner during his unedited evacuation broadcast in City 17. She makes yet another appearance in ''Episode Two'', where the player can see her climb into [[Arne Magnusson|Dr. Magnusson]]'s rocket, which is launched shortly before the end of the game. Seconds before the launch, Dr. Kleiner notes a payload anomaly of approximately 8.5 pounds, suggesting that Lamarr has been launched into space.
