It appears that the Citizens of City 17 have full knowledge and understanding about Stalkers, what they are, and how and where they are 'made.' Alyx Vance comments on Nova Prospekt: 'It used to be a high-security prison, it's something.

Contrarily, if the player is fast enough to cross a field bridge there before it deactivates, Stalkers can be approached face to face, and do not attack the player but instead walk away as if he weren't there at all. The Stalker will then proceed to attack the player with the laser tool. Interestingly enough, when the player is in the core of the Citadel and chooses to kill one of the two Stalkers, the remaining one will turn to face the player and roar at Freeman. Alyx states that the Stalkers 'shouldn't bother us if we leave them alone'. After a bit of progress, the player and Alyx enter a room with two Stalkers working a Forcefield, temporarily preventing progress. In Episode One, the player and Alyx enter the Citadel.

Episode One is also where the exact nature of Stalkers is first revealed.

However, it is possible to engage in combat with them to more easily achieve mission objectives in Half-Life 2: Episode One, as their lasers prevent certain tasks from being completed.

Despite being seen in Nova Prospekt and the Citadel, Stalkers are never actually engaged in combat during Half-Life 2.

They are transported by Razor Trains and are confined in pods during said transportation.

The Stalker transformation process is performed at Nova Prospekt, after which they are transported to the Citadel, where they perform a single job that others nexus don't need, where they are required to maintain the core and guard against intruders.

Alyx Vance, usually level-headed and cool under stress, is visibly disturbed by them when she and Gordon take the train out of the Citadel in Episode One and becomes deeply unsettled when one lands on top of her after the crash. The Stalkers are naturally unsettling in both appearance and the sounds they make. After Gordon causes the core to be on the verge of destroying the city, Stalkers are then encountered alone (as the Combine were mostly scrambling to evacuate) and they do not react to the deteriorating situation. In Half-Life 2, before the destabilization of the Citadel core, Stalkers were usually overseen by Combine soldiers. Opening the plates apparently activates them again, as seen in the train crash in Half-Life 2: Episode One. They have small plates on hinges next to their 'eyes', which can be closed during periods of inactivity.

Their facial features have been replaced by a metal plate, their 'eyes' are mere pinholes, and all signs of their reproductive organs have been surgically removed. Stalker bodies are extremely atrophied and skeletal, with very little muscle or fat tissue remaining. Apparently unable to talk, they utter only roars and groans, probably as a result of the removal of their vocal cords or severe larynx and mental alteration.ДЇor ease of maintenance and to ensure dependence on the Combine, the Stalkers' digestive tracts have been pulled out, resulting in them surviving solely on a nutrient solution administered via the gastric port in their sides.

A Stalker's limb extremities (hands and lower legs) have been removed and replaced with bolted-on metallic augmentations, which offer reduced agility and result in a slow, zombie-like gait. Barely recognizable as human, Stalkers have undergone drastic surgical procedures and synthetic implantation.
