	The Gillmen are the first or second "alien" species you will encounter in TFTD. More precisely, they are an Earthly species and have ~~prostated~~ themselves before the Aliens in an attempt to save their miserable hides. Luckily for X-Com, Gillmen are rather slow and make poor soldiers.		The Gillmen are the first or second "alien" species you will encounter in TFTD.

Luckily for X-Com, Gillmen are rather slow and make poor soldiers.

	Their only strength is their high amount of health, which means lower-tech weapons will often need 2, sometimes 3 shots to bring one down. Once you get Sonic weapons, however, they'll start dying like flies. In addition, they easily fall prey to Molecular control, and thus make good "test subjects" for training your Aquanauts' [[M.C Skill]].
