Muton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mutons are a fictional race of alien beings in the PC game X-COM: UFO Defense. They are purple-skinned humanoids in green armor, the same aliens that appear in the opening sequence of the game.
They do not appear until the mid-game and are much tougher than Sectoids, Snakemen and Floaters, often taking several shots to kill with heavy weaponry. However, they have no special abilities and are psionically vulnerable. Mutons are particularly resistant to armour piercing ammunition. They can appear alone, but on Terror missions, base attacks and larger UFOs they will be accompanied by Celatids and Silacoids.
There are no commanders on alien bases populated by mutons, due to the mutons' dependency on the telepathic link to the Ethereals for orders.
