The Breengrub
We almost all know what the Breengrub is.
But i was wondering, he said that upon hatching, the Shu'ulathoi can take any form they want.
So.. Is it possible Gman is one of the Shu'ulathoi?

What if Gman was Gabe (Newell) man?

Are the Shu'ulathoi the admin larva things seen in ep2? If so and Gman was one of them why wouldn't he/it use its telekinetic ability to coerce

The Advisors (Shu'ulathoi) aren't shapeshifters, not sure where you got that idea from. The G-Man isn't part of the Combine, he helps Gordon in fighting them.

Maybe they don't need to shift; maybe there psychic ability is further developed than the telekinesis they exhibit. Cause one to see and converse with something not there. Still that doesn't explain why they would sort of assist Freeman in his efforts to thwart the combine.

They wouldn't. The G-Man isn't Combine, of that we can be sure.

Breengrub said that the adult form was driven to mindlessly reproduce, but that the combine seem to have technology to suppress that instinct, meaning that it may be possible.

Can I just point out that Breengrub isn't actually canon, and as such nothing "he" says means anything.

As observed, (by me), Freeman is considered as a toy to gman. To me, Gman appears more as a broker like an arms dealer for others playing a game that he likely has side bets going.

i belive this is the case. all the motives and abilitys fits the story

also this line came to my mind: I admit I have a fascination with those who adapt and survive against all odds. They rather remind me of myself

(if you read all breengrubs posts you get it)

G-man is not a Shu'ulathoi but it's true that G-man just took a human shape.
