Chumtoad
Moar - This page needs 'Moar' work, it may have been copy-pasted or just is really not up to standard.
The Chumtoad had the place of the Snark in early Half-Life development - it was used to draw Bullsquids away from their nests, hence the Chum. While it never got a place in Half-life, it takes part in several mods.
It should be noted that the Chumtoad-carrying first person model still is in the Half-Life SDK.
The only official Half-Life game the Chumtoad is in is Blue Shift, where at the bottom of a dark Xen pond the player can bash through a wall and gain entrance to Chumtoad's Lair. When the player strays too close the Chumtoads disappear, instead giving access to a handful of Snarks. This possibly reflects Half-Life development.
During the beginning of Half-Life: Blue Shift, you could see a Chumtoad right next to you. If you went into Barney's locker, and shoot the box in there with all the ammo you had with your gun from the armory, the box would break, and a Chumtoad would appear.
Trivia
- According to Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar, the Chumtoad's name was sometimes shortened to "Choad".
