Clingy; Itchy

Headcrab's in-game description, Super Meat Boy

Method: 10 Bandages

Headcrab's picture.

The Headcrab is the 10 Bandages unlock for the Steam Version of Super Meat Boy.

Headcrab is like Goo Ball but with a more horizontal jump.

Con: Jumps less vertically than Gish and Goo Ball.

Description: "Clingy! Itchy"

Slides down way slower from walls while the run button is being held. While the run button is being held, it can also slide on the ceiling, which can make some levels much easier.

Trivia[]

  • It's only available in the Steam version, and not in the Xbox Live Arcade Version.
  • Its mouth can only be seen on the character selection screen.
  • Headcrab was voted as the 2nd worst character in the game like Captain Viridian.
  • Judging by the lack of teeth normal Headcrabs have, it can be assumed this Headcrab is Lamarr, from Half-Life 2.
  • Headcrab's sounds are taken from Half-Life 2.
