	A '''Medic''' is one of the middle tier [[Alien Ranks]], and is not particularly commonly found even on the larger [[UFOs]]. Their role on board is presumably to support other Aliens and heal them when they get injured, in ~~practise~~ they do not seem to fill this task very well, if at all.		A '''Medic''' is one of the middle tier [[Alien Ranks]], and is not particularly commonly found even on the larger [[UFOs]]. Their role on board is presumably to support other Aliens and heal them when they get injured, in practice they do not seem to fill this task very well, if at all.

	In combat a Medic is the only the equal of most other ranks in combat, with reasonable intelligence, but lowered aggression. In terms of equipment they may well be using less powerful weapons that some other ranks, but not always. They are among the easiest opponents you will run into on any given mission, although only [[Sectoid]]s and [[Floater]]s bring Medics along on their missions.

	Medics in TFTD have similar roles and equipment to their EU equivalents. Aquatoids are the only race that deploys them, and they have almost identical stats to the Soldiers, save for higher intelligence, and slightly higher health and M.C. Strength.		Medics in TFTD have similar roles and equipment to their EU equivalents. Aquatoids are the only race that deploys them, and they have almost identical stats to the Soldiers, save for higher intelligence, and slightly higher health and M.C. Strength. [[Gillmen]] replace Medics with Squad Leaders, [[Lobster Men]] replace them with Technicians, and [[Tasoths]] replace them with Soldiers.

	Interrogating a Medic will reveal information about a random unknown type of Alien. However, note that ~~getting info on, say, a Deep One corpse in~~ this ~~way is~~ not the ~~same thing~~ as ~~researching an actual~~ Deep One ~~corpse in your Lab~~, ~~and~~ will not ~~unlock~~ [[Aqua Plastics]]. See the [[TRTBAG\|Bug Avoidance Guide]] for more info.		Interrogating a Medic will reveal information about a random unknown type of Alien. However, note that UFOpedia entries gained by this process do not substitute for the actual autopsy or live examination as a research prerequisite; gaining the autopsy report of a [[Deep One]] from a Medic, for instance, will not allow research into [[Aqua Plastics]] as the actual autopsy would. See the [[TRTBAG\|Bug Avoidance Guide]] for more info.

Arrow Quivershaft: "IIRC" does not belong in the main article. In addition, Engineers often spawn with Small Launchers. More true on smaller UFOs, but can happen anywhere they can't spawn with a Blaster Launcher!
