Celatid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Celatids are a fictional race of alien beings in the PC game X-COM: UFO Defense. They appear as floating pink globules and may shoot powerful venom at the player's soldiers. The venom moves like a low speed projectile (similar to a grenade toss) and cannot go far in an area with low ceilings, but can be shot over obstacles such as fences.

Aside from their venomous attack, Celatids have no weapons, no particular resistances or vulnerabilies. They are, however, capable of copying themselves quickly, making them a danger to the player. They are only found on Terror missions, base attacks and larger UFOs, accompanied by Mutons and Silacoids.
