The Alien Swarm Parasite is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is an altered version of an enemy parasite from the game Alien Swarm. The creature attaches to each class's head differently and sports a limp tail.
This hat is obtained by earning the "Hat Trick" achievement in the game Alien Swarm by completing 2 co-op missions online, regardless of difficulty setting.
The hat description was written by Grug for the Hat Describing Contest, and was slightly edited by Valve.

Bugs
- Similar to an existing bug with the Holy Mackerel, the jiggleboned tail of the parasite may become twisted and knotted.
- Certain versions are tradable, and some are not. It is unknown what determines tradability.
Trivia
- When the parasite is shot after falling off of its owner, it will bleed.
- Also, if detached from its owners head, it will leave a blood trail when rolling across the ground.
- When clicked in the backpack, the hat makes the sound of the parasite from Alien Swarm.
