	Silacoids are an alien [[Terror Units\|terror unit]] accompanying [[Muton]]s along with [[Celatid]]s. As with all terror units, they can be encountered on [[Terror Mission]]s, [[Base ~~Defense~~]], with a [[Terror ship\|Terror Ship]] or [[Battleship]], on [[Alien Base Assault]]s, and finally on [[Cydonia]].

As with all terror units, they can be encountered on [[Terror Mission]]s, [[Base Defence]]s, with a [[Terror ship\|Terror Ship]] or [[Battleship]], on [[Alien Base Assault]]s, and finally on [[Cydonia]].

	Silacoids are the least dangerous alien of any in the game: they cannot make ranged attacks and are slow enough to be easily outrun. Their heavy armor makes them hard to damage without at least a Laser Rifle (although they are also vulnerable to any form of explosive attack). They are furthermore totally immune to fire. All of these qualities makes them the perfect alien on which to train your troops' Firing Accuracy and Reactions.

	Silacoids are perfect for [[Reactions Training]]; they will not "freeze" like disarmed humanoid aliens will, and will trigger reaction shots from even your slowest soldiers (30 Reactions). Flying troops are completely safe from Silacoids and ground troops can still outrun them (stay at least 8 squares away at all times). If that weren't enough, they are completely immune to fire, which means you can train several troops on one Silacoid using multiple [[Auto-Cannon\|AC-I]] clips (11 shots per soldier gives the maximum possible benefit). Their high armor (50 points in most locations) makes them quite resistant to other weak weapons as well (but don't use HE ammo). Note that your soldiers will ''not'' gain firing accuracy while using IN rounds, only their reaction levels may improve.
