Vortigaunts
Vortigaunts are a fictional extra-dimensional species in the Half-Life series of video games by Valve Corporation. In Half-Life and its three expansions, Vortigaunts are frequently encountered by the player as hostile non-player characters. The Vortigaunts are depicted in Half-Life as being an enslaved race in an alternative dimension called Xen, subservient to a large creature called the Nihilanth, which itself is a slave to undisclosed masters. In Half-Life 2, the Vortigaunts have broken free of their slavery, and actively assist the player and other humans in resisting the Combine occupation of Earth.
Vortigaunts are shown as a very communal and cultural race, believing in a force that binds the fabric of the universe and each Vortigaunt together, as well as producing a tradition of poetry and music. Vortigaunts also display the ability to summon and command electrical energy without the need for technology. This ability is used for various activities, such as a means of attack, powering electrical equipment, and healing.

Runt
The runts are the new born members of the Tribe in City ??. They know nothing about the Vortessence and Vortigese, they barely know English. They will become students when they become the required age of 2 months(Or 2 years in Vortigaunt Years).
Slave
Slaves are the Vortigaunts that have been captured by the Combine, they were then turned into slaves. They are forced into hard labor, such as lifting heavy things, constantly sweeping and moping, they never get breaks. They cannot use the Vortessence because of the chains fitted on them, they also are unable to communicate in Vortigese. When a Vortigaunt that is a Slave leaves the nexus, they will blow up because of the sensors in the chains. The removal of the chains automatically alerts all members of the OTA and CCA. They will be captured quickly(Or not).
