The Gunship is a Synth aerial assault unit whose overall appearance resembles that of an aquatic animal. It has a round, stubby head with a body that extends wider to it's backside, ending with a huge, round rotor forming it's "tail". Two flippers are located near it's head along with two small, thin limbs near it's rotor. The Gunship's carapace is divided into two sections: the top of half of the Gunship has a camouflage pattern consisting of a green-brownish color mixed with white colored splotches leading to a more orange color on the tail. The underside is white with accents of teal due the Combine technology built into it. Curiously, the Gunship displays a form of Countershading, often seen in marine life, in which the top of the body is more darkly colored than the lower areas, giving the body a more uniform darkness and a lack of depth relief.

Like all Synths, Gunships appear to be a combination of organic and mechanical parts. The first visible mechanical component of a Gunship is the pulse gun attached to the underside of it's head, with the barrel of the gun protruding out of the head. Compound eyes resembling those of a dragonfly are positioned directly behind this gun. The middle section of it's underside are filled with tubes and mechanical components that give off a light-teal glow. The most apparent mechanical addition is the rotor on it's backside, which bulges out sideways. Blades are affixed at the center of this mass, where they spin to give the Gunship lift. Two nozzles can be seen at the top part of the Gunship that leads to the rotors, while an exhaust unit can be seen directly below them. Yes , I copied this from the half-life fandom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
