Deep One
The Deep One is a terror weapon used by the Gillman race. They are a graft of a human body and alien technology, with armored skin and alien implants to control them. The eyes are the only organ left unchanged. Armed with a long range electric weapon, they pose little more threat than the average Gillman or Aquatoid.
It's corpse reveal the fundamental principles behind the alien Aqua Plastics and the living one would tell you about powered armour. While Gillman like to engage in Terror mission, this work soon shift to more deadly Lobsterman and Tasoth. So it's wise to both stun and kill it as soon as possible.
Gauss weapons work well against them, but they have been observed surviving grenade blasts.

Ufopaedia excerpt:
The Deep One is a biological nightmare, a cross breed, produced by the mind warping experiments of the Aquatoids. We have encountered several variationsof this creature.
After extensive research we conclude that these are manufactured by the invaders. Swelling their ranks when fresh human stock has been captured. Each of these sub-human is armed with an electrical energy discharge powerful enough to kill an aquanaut.
Autopsy
The creature is a graft of man and alien organism. The human brain is massively altered to accommodate control electronics and the Alien cortex. All vestiges of the human body seem lost save one: the eyes. The surgical graft appears to allow the alien foetus to consume the human host as it grows.
The tough skin of the creature appears to be a non-organic, metallic mesh, extremely strong and flexible. The resulting cross breed is strong, fast and utterly under the control of the aliens.
