The THING inspired "Cyclops Walker"

"Walkers" appeared in the first video game of John Carpenter's The THING, which I worked on many years back. The game featured different classes of THING creatures, as to be aligned with traditional video game combat systems. Scuttlers were little cannon fodder creatures, Walkers could move around the environment and had uniques attacks depending on their type. Finally we had "Ruptures" which were essentially end of level bosses.
