Trivia

Hat Trick Achievement Icon

• This is the second hat that appears to be a living creature, the other being the Triboniophorus Tyrannus.
• This hat is the first and only item to be unlocked via the achievements of another game.
• This hat was speculated days before the game was even released due to the Heavy appearing on the icon for the Hat Trick achievement.
• This hat looks much like a facehugger from the Alien franchise or a headcrab, parasitic enemy from the Half-Life series.
• This hat will split into two whenever someone wearing it dies; this also happens in Alien Swarm where if the player dies from infection, the parasite splits into two or three, depending on the difficulty.
• If you taunt with the Sniper's Kukri, Shiv or Bushwacka, the Sniper will very easily pull the parasite off of his head, before putting it back on - not a particularly clever idea if the hat is indeed alive.
• The Heavy wears his parasite hat differently in-game than on the Hat Trick achievement icon.
• This is the only promotional hat without a limited supply.
• With the Mann-Conomy Update, this hat emits the same sound as a Swarm Parasite in Alien Swarm when picked up in the backpack.
• This hat is tradeable with the induction of the Mann-Conomy Update
• The hat description was written by Grug. It was slightly edited by Valve.
• The tail is jiggleboned, swaying slightly as the wearer moves. Other examples of jiggle boned hats include the Respectless Rubber Glove, Max's Severed Head, Hustler's Hallmark, and Pugilist's Protector.
• The Alien Swarm Parasite is the most traded item on tf2items.com
• When the hat is shot after falling off of its owner, it will bleed which proves that the hat is alive.
