The Alien Swarm Parasite is an unlockable promotional headwear item for all classes. It appears as 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.
