Floater (alien)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Floaters are a fictional race of aliens that appear in the PC game X-COM: UFO Defense. Their name is derived from their ability to float through the air. They may have been inspired by the tales of floating aliens some supposed UFO witnesses have reported.
Aside from their avionic ability, Floaters have no special abilities, and are armed with standard alien weaponry. They are usually encountered early in the game and are relatively fragile, often dying after a single shot. On Terror missions, base attacks or larger UFOs, they will be accompanied by at least one Reaper.
