Alien Swarm Parasite
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | ” |
The Alien Swarm Parasite is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a stylized version of an enemy parasite from the game Alien Swarm. The creature attaches to each class's head differently, and sports a limp tail.
The Alien Swarm Parasite is obtained by earning the Hat Trick achievement in Alien Swarm. The achievement is earned by completing two co-op missions online, regardless of difficulty setting.
The hat description was written by Grug for the Hat Describing Contest, but was slightly edited by Valve.
