Reaper (alien)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the Doctor Who aliens with the same name.
The Reapers are a fictional race of aliens in the PC game X-COM: UFO Defense. They are bipedal, brown-furred and much larger than humans. Reapers are unintelligent but ferocious and are used as living weaponry, especially against civilian targets.
They have no long distance attacks and are not armed; however, they move quickly and can cause very serious damage if directly next to the player's units. Reapers have considerable redundancy in internal organs and thus can take high amounts of damage, but the fur makes them vulnerable to incendiary ammunition. Their size of 2x2 grid squares makes it impossible for them to walk or attack through single-square entrances. Reapers are always found with Floaters, and appear on terror missions, base attacks and with larger UFOs.
