Headbite

Headbite

A headbite is a direct bite by a dretch to the head of a human. The dretch can either jump to get to the head, or it can walk on the floor while looking nearly straight up, which will also aim for the head. It is recommended to aim up instead of jumping, because jumping is too predictable, so humans can easily kill a dretch.

In some situations, it's a great idea to wallwalk above a human to attack his head. They are sometimes so busy attacking buildables that this approach can be successful even against battle suits.

A headbite on a helmetless human does 96 damage, leaving only 4 HP left to inflict. A dretch with poison can 1 hit k/o a helmetless human.

The other aliens can also aim for the human head to achieve extra strong damage, only it's not called a "bite".
