	The '''Sectoid''' ~~are~~ the first ~~aliens we've ever faced that carries psionic capabilities and~~ a ~~better physical body~~ integrated ~~with~~ human DNA.		The '''Sectoid''' is the first alien species XCOM will encounter during a campaign. Far from the [[Alien Life Forms (Long War)#Sectoid\|scrawny foot soldiers of the initial invasion]], the Sectoids now boast integrated human DNA, enhancing their durability as well as their psionic prowess.

As the ~~aliens progress~~, ~~a stronger version~~ appears ~~that can cast these abilities~~ over an area affecting multiple targets and escalating the situation more quickly.		In battle, the Sectoid unleashes its psionic powers through its [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Mindspin\|Mindspin]] ability, capable of disorienting, inducing panic, or even seizing control of its target's mind! [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Psi Reanimation\|Psi Reanimation]], meanwhile, allows it to revive a humanoid corpse as a Psi Zombie. And if these abilities are unavailable or a flanking oppurtunity presents itself, the Sectoid is more than capable of causing significant damage with its Plasma Pistol. However, Sectoids are not without weakness: mental effects such as disorientation will immediately return their zombies to dust and undo the terrifying effects of Mind Control, and their seemingly well-built bodies will [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Melee Vulnerability\|quickly fold to melee strikes]].

			As the campaign progresses, the mightier '''Sectoid Commander''' appears. Stronger, tougher, and even deadlier with their pistols, Commanders are capable of using Mindspin and Reanimation over an area, affecting multiple targets and escalating the situation more quickly.

Panic shuts down a soldier, but can be taken care of via tools such as [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Revival Protocol\|Revival Protocol]] or killing the Sectoid. The seemingly innocuous effect of disorientation can in fact be the worst, as killing or disabling the Sectoid will not cancel it--without removal tools, the soldier has no choice but to grin and bear it.

The '''Sectoid''' are the first aliens we've ever faced that carries psionic capabilities and a better physical body integrated with human DNA.

The Sectoid was the first aliens we've faced but now integrated with human DNA has granted them a more durable body. Though despite this they seem to be more fragile to certain weapons and causing them to have a [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Melee Vulnerability|Melee Weakness]]. The first special ability they are capable of is [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Mindspin|Mindspin]] that launches a mental attack to inflict a negative mental effect including mind control. The next ability they are capable of is [[Perk List (LWOTC)#Psi Reanimation|Psi Reanimation]] which allows them to revive a humanoid corpse as a zombie. As the aliens progress, a stronger version appears that can cast these abilities over an area affecting multiple targets and escalating the situation more quickly.
