Now that HL1 is available in beta form I got excuse to do that one more run while keeping eye out for bugs... Which leads us to the fact that at least on my machine the Barnacle's tentacle is invisible underwater. I don't know if this is a driver related or not but here is two screenshots about it.
It's pretty hideous since player can still be grabbed by them. To reproduce this nothing special is needed. Just open up a new game and when you first time encounter them at "Anonymous Materials" sewers you should see they don't have the tentacles.
I should probably make a note of that when you dive underwater slowly, the tentacles are visible for ~1 sec. until they become invisible. Probably due player being so close those water surface or something.
