* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyRKTIRepJg "Nepal Monastery"]], the Tentacle's leitmotif, may initially seem like a case of SoundtrackDissonance. It's a calm, relaxing song in a soundtrack full of otherwise tense, unsettling music, that seems strange for playing around a giant killer alien claw. However, it's actually a case of FridgeBrilliance. The Tentacle detects its pray using sound, and the player must stay quiet aroundit so as not to alert it. In this case, it's as if ''the soundtrack itself'' is trying to stay quiet to avoid disturbing the Tentacle. The end result is a song unlike anything else in any ''Half-Life'' game, but definitely worth listening to.
