Ep1 cut enemies

[Terra778]

I was looking at one of the vmfs from the ep1 mappack leak and I noticed a few error models, I clicked on one of them and saw what I think is an unused barnacle type called sandbarnacle.mdl, is this an unused type or is it supposed to be something else.

HL2 BETA had wasteland sand barnacle, looks like they planned to reuse this enemy in ep1, but they changed it

It's an unedited copy of the same map from WC mappack, dated 2002. It had odell, alien assassins, etc, etc, etc, and I see no reason to consider it related to actual Ep1 development.

I thought they just made a similar version for the same purpose
