According to Ted Backman, designer of the Houndeye, its anatomy was inspired by a huge three-legged tabby cat named Tripod that lived in his neighborhood as a child.It is one of the few creatures from the series that went virtually unchanged from the first sketch.The Houndeye was originally nicknamed "Roundeye", due to the shape of its eye.Houndeyes attacking in violet shock waves in Sector D. Houndeyes require a period of time before attacking, similar to Vortigaunts, so this makes it easier to deal with them.When engaging a group of Houndeyes, the player should avoid standing next to explosives, as their sonic attack can cause these objects to explode.Houndeyes often flee before the explosive can detonate. Hand Grenades are not always recommended, unless they are off guard. The MP5 is an excellent weapon to use due to the large magazine size, and the SPAS-12 because it can kill a Houndeye with a single shot.Note however, that the Houndeyes will return to attack. They will often flee and jump backwards, giving the player time to eliminate them afterward. If killing a group of Houndeyes simultaneously is not possible while they are charging their sonic attacks, simply shoot at them once (or hit a Houndeye once with the crowbar as a last resort to minimize damage) and they will not be able to attack. While they may not seem intimidating at first (as they need to charge their sonic attack), they can inflict massive damage on the player, especially if more of them are charging simultaneously.
