OMG! HL2 SNARKS!

The antlion. Ding cunningly worked it out.

They are just bigger, faster and more ev0l, and are ev0l unless you hold the key to controlling them, the therapods. Think about it....

Yea that's right - you even can't control snarks - if you let them go without an enemy target they will raep yuo hardcore!

No wait, "The Antlionpit"? The antlions can impossibly be the HL2 snarks. It just doesnt fit.

Not a chance guys :razz: Keep trying.

nah, it cant......

snif, i mis those cute little buggers.....

Well plz they ain't anywhere else? AND they are completely out of place monsters in the game, just like snarks.

Closest thing I can think of is the manhacks :razz: They are relatively Snark-ish in their ways.

Manhackpit?

i think an antlion is the next in the evolution of the alien . Much
like how the zombies changed form over the years. ill miss the
little guys

That makes sense, having the antlions be snarks. All we really
see in HL1 is that they are babies that you throw from an egg-sack
(mmm, pleasent). Maybe the snarks grow into ant-lions, that's why
you don't see them in the first game. At that point they had just
been introduced to the enviroment, and since Gordan Freeman wasn't
around to throw them from their nests prematurely for however many
years, they were able to infest the beaches.

Man, I feel nerdy all of a sudden.

This is getting scarily close to the wierdness of the G-Man theory! D:

HL2 had snarks, just like HL1 had snarks.

What is your problem ?

:biggrin:

You only just noticed that antlions are the HL2 snark equivelant? Its
not exactly a subtle similarity - both are monsters you use against
your enemies.

I'm not talking about them being equivalent. I picked up on
that. What I'm saying is that the antlions ARE the snarks.
Only now they are grown up and do not spontaneously combust after a few
seconds.

G-man theory? =O

linky

Well, they do indeed run fast and are both capable of some impressive 'jumps'...

but to say they're full-grown snarks... then I'd ask: where's the eye? :wink:

The HL2 Snarks could indeed be the Antlion, but Manipulated! I mean,
since the combines are using them as wepons they just might have
manipulated them to be as effective as possible, like they have done
with the headcrabs.

Obviously, they mutated based on the Earth's atmosphere. I mean,
C'MON, that much is pretty obvious. Or maybe they grow the extra
eyes so long as no one pulls them out of the birth bag before they are
fully developed.

:wink: :biggrin:

Ehm, combines using antlions as weapons? I've seen different scene's in-game actually... :wink:

Mhh, and only an eye for when they're popped out before their time? Since their ears or pressure sensors aren't full-grown yet?

Uh, yeah, sure, sounds logic... :biggrin:

Your all wrong.

Come on, snarks are small green and dont have wings.

I dont think the ant lions have any ties to any faction in the HL world. Infact I dare say they are their own faction, much like snarks.

A caterpillar does not have wings before it turns into a butterfly.

A butterfly is not fifty times bigger than a caterpillar, nor is it completely dissimilar in appearance and structure.

These are aliens for chrissakes! The rules don't apply!
This thread makes me fully convinced of my ridiculous theory.

The Snark is dead, face it:

Here lies Snark

maybe its a marsupial snark, the offspring of a marsupial is often 50 times smaller than the adult (or more like 1000 times)

DAMN YOU JOESPH!

the HL2 snarks are just VERY big and can be seen walking in a straight line in the Citadel when you're being taken for a ride in those pods. They're below you. For mappers it's the "SYNTH" model.

Ah yus, the Synth, maybe... One thing is for sure. The big fat baby in HL1 was a combine geezer.

"fat baby" hahaha. Did you see the "ADVISOR?" That thing is kinda cool. I wish they were actual NPC_ ents that you oculd kill.

There are snarks in HL2. Normal midgets I mean. Its a mod

NO! there are no snarks!!

but.... I seem to recall that there is a HUD texture in the texture
libray for hl2 that has some wepons that didn't make it in the game
(flare gun, etc) and their may be a snark in there.

oh and to disprove the snark = baby antlion

why would snarks evolve into ant lions and then into those BIG controler ant lions.

also, antlions are blind and snarks have eyes. If they wern't
blind then dont you think they would catch on that you wern't infact a
big ant lion controler? think about it

I think snarks are a separate lifeform from the Antlions, having no evolutionary links. Snarks are full-grown creatures, and the "birth sacs" are their nests. Supposedly, the nests are symbiotic creatures which allow snarks to have a share of their energ/food because they protect it from attacks. I think so because the original Snark nest had a "walk" animation. I supose antlions are a Xen native not seen in the HL1 parts of Xen, maybe because they were suppressed by the native lifeforms.
