Half Life Barnacle Sculpture Solves Pest Control Woes

Remember this bad boy? I sure do. Etsy user LymansTerms obviously has fonder memories of Half Life’s Barnacle beast than most of us. So much so he created a tribute in sculpture form to the monstrosity, perfectly crafted to hang from your ceiling and molest innocent passersby. The sculpture is made of paper and cloth mache, and expertly painted to capture the essence of the stealthy carnivore.

This isn’t the most traditional piece of décor ever, but worthy of owning for interesting dinner party conversation. Too bad it’s not functional for when the evening takes the inevitable turn towards an elongated and awkward silence.

LymansTerms doesn’t recommend installing this piece in homes with small animals. Unless that's the point of purchasing it.

  • I'll give ya a nickel to put your hand in it.

  • haha that would be so awesome to have in your room

  • That's cool. I want one.

  • Be scary to place it above an unsuspecting persons bed.

  • Awesome!!!! I love half-life.

  • I think I'll be hanging this right next to my Imperial Super Star Destroyer "chandelier"....  :/  

    While it's great fun to think about, I think it's in the class of the $6000 Yoda, Predator, and Alien statues through Sharper Image.  Sure it LOOKS cool, and could be modified to drool on motion underneath - but is there actually a viable market for this?

  • This is so awesome !!!!

  • this would be great for my front door

  • it says the tentacle can be removed for safety.

    so basically this thing could double as a $150 fly tape hanger.

  • now that looks awesome

  • Hmm I can imagine that thing sitting above my room door so when I walk in I get sucked up without noticing OMG :o

  • I miss Opposing Force... between the Desert Eagle and Barnacle... I've always considered it to be better than Half-Life itself... considering it was all the original stuff and more that's only fair though.

  • Just use fly paper instead of the tongue and you have an awesome barnacle fly trap!

  • Every time I see the word "Half-Life" I get excited. I always think it's something news-related. It kind kind of puts me down. Anyway, this is awesome. I really want one.

  • Thanks for the props, everyone. If it looks cool to gamers then I succeeded.

  • This reminds me I should finish Half-Life 2.

  • I WanT this in my home NOW! lol very awesome

  • Wow he should sell those I'd buy one

  • WIN. I want this in my room.

  • I want to put a ceiling lamp in that.
