It's also an enemy that wasn't in 2, giving the impression that the people who made 4 weren't properly following the game they were making a sequel to. I can see them maybe trying some weird genetic experiments with humans and some weird local fauna, but regardless the end result is a silly looking enemy. Those droppers are a great example, looking less human-like and thus less unsettling than Q2's parasite.
The Strogg also seem more retarded in general with Q4. Things like ditching the body armor for the guards, having targeting so bad they can't hit a strafing marine at the default pm_160 speed, and then there's stuff like pic related. What a waste! It's like if you went to America and they were using burgers and pizza to fix their power lines, and powering their PCs with KFC. I get they were trying to be shocking here but it backfired.
