What Alien Is The Tasolth?

They usually carry sonic cannons and other nasty weapons

This isn't really a very good item to discern different aliens on. They ALL use sonic cannons and other nasty weapons :P

edit: ok, so the terror units don't. I meant the regular alien races :rolleyes:

Or, just imagine eels with arms and legs. Green is as good as any description, just imagine something that's not a gill-man or an aquatoid.

 

When the psi attacks really start hammering your troops, you'll know you've met them. Even a lowly Tasoth soldier can use mind attacks on you.

 

They've got impressive stats, but they haven't got the 1/2 damage modifier the lobstermen have, and, I mean this with absolute honesty, can be killed with a weapon as low as the gauss pistol (full auto, in the back, one tile away, of course).

 

Doh, hang on, if you really want to meet them, you'll always meet a whole horde of them on the first level of an alien colony. There'll also be some aquatoid, tentaculats and hallucinoids, but there'll be lots more tasoth (mostly with disrupter pulse launchers). They're technically the guardians of the portal.

If they move, their tails slither like snakes. And they are taller and skinnier than most other aliens, and due to the fin, are distinguishable from gillmen

Hehe, me and my friend always called them horsies. (or "paardjes" in Dutch)

So no, you're not alone.
