Originally from Tentaculat Commander's edits from the once-unified Overviews of Aliens page.
One recommendation on editing: before the "See Also" box on the beginning of each section, put an all-clearing line break:
<br clear="all" />
...otherwise, the alien image may overlap the grey box on Mozilla browsers.

Alien Threat levels
We need to classify the aliens in threat levels just like in the Enemy Unknown alien overview.
I suggest the following classifications for the races; I've given a brief justification after each race for why I classify it as I do. Admittedly, I haven't played TFTD nearly as much as Enemy Unknown, so I may has misclassified some races.
Low Threat
Zombie - Slow, melee only
Calcinite - Melee only
Gillman- Poor stats!
Medium Threat
Aquatoid - Underwater Sectoids. Poor stats, but watch for MC; they seem to field Squad Leaders a bit more often than Sectoids fielded Leaders or Commanders.
Bio-Drone - Explosive, hovers, sneaks around alot.
Deep One - Ranged attack, doesn't need direct LOS.
Xarquid - Tough, powerful attack.
Hallucinoid - Ranged and Melee, powerful.
High Threat
Lobsterman - Strong, insanely damage resistant, and can turn a trooper into confetti in melee.
Tentaculat - As said: "Underwater Flying Chryssalids."
Tasoth - Strong Molecular Control
Triscene - Reapers with ranged attack!
