			* Trivia: While the Aquatoid is clearly an alteration of the Grey-like [[Sectoid]], it very likely owes some of its inspiration to the Spawn of Cthulhu from ''Call of Cthulhu''.

	From a research standpoint, Aquatoids aren't a very interesting bunch. Researching their M.C. users will '''not''' allow you to research M.C. Labs, and ~~it seems that~~ researching their Navigators or Commanders doesn't unlock anything interesting. Their associated terrorists, the [[Calcinite]]s are, however, important since they will unlock the [[Vibro Blade]] research topic.

-== Live Specimen ==
+Aquatoids are often the first alien race to be encountered, and are very active in the early game. They will become noticeably less common once [[Lobster Men]] and [[Tasoth]]s appear on the scene, but will redouble their efforts starting from August 2040.
-Their power is based on the powerful Molecular Control technology. The Aquatoid race seeks to propagate its sterile race by genetic modification, the ideal subjects being Human beings. Experiments have spawned numerous hybrid races. <br clear="all" />
+Aquatoids possess average weapon skills and are extremely vulnerable to all weapons, including the rudimentary harpoon family. Explosive weapons are particularly effective weapon against them, since a near miss will likely still kill any nearby Aquatoids.
-== Autopsy ==
+Despite their fraility, Aquatoids are better shots than Gillmen, somewhat faster and have much better Reactions. Aquatoid Technicians, Navigators and Commanders are feared for their [[Molecular Control]] ability. In fact, the Aquatoid Commander is the strongest M.C. capable alien in the game. Aquatoids are also among the more intelligent Aliens, and their M.C. users will often hole up and avoid revealing themselves.
-Vestigial lungs allow the breathing of air and limited surface mobility. There are cybernetic implants throughout the body, enhancing the strength of its atrophied limbs and the function of its organs.
+Apart from launching their own missions, Aquatoids will also appear in Alien Colony assault and [[Artefact Site]] missions, and a number of them will be present on [[Mixed Crew]] missions. Finally, they are present on all three levels of the final mission.
-As all members of this race are identical, we may hypothesise that these creatures are clones. <br clear="all" />
