Gill Man

Quite an uninteresting bunch, the Gillmen...

Pathetic traitors of Earth, they have prostrated themselves before a foreign power in order to fight their own Brothers and Sisters. Show them no mercy!

• They are slow, dumb, and easily mind-controlled... Is it any wonder the Gillmen shares common DNA with the civilians in Terror raids?
  • Take them as TFTD version of Snakeman, just without Tentaculat to stalk your team.
    • They do have rather high amounts of health though!

• Gill-Man Commanders are capable of using Molecular Control attacks, but are not particularly good at it.

Live Specimen

Almost human, a strange creature who appears to be a reptilian humanoid, very closely related to man.

This creature is extremely powerful and fast in the under sea world. Gillmen are fully fledged race, there being male and female specimens of varying ages.

They are unlike the majority of the underwater aliens as they bear none of the signs of genetic alteration or surgical deformation. It is possible we are looking at some ancient branch of our own species.

Autopsy

Once surgery began it became clear this is no alien, but an Earth born creature, an ancient pre-historic race that was thought destroyed at the very moment mammals became dominant.

In a time when dinosaurs roamed these creatures lived, the Gillmen-amphibious, intelligent and strong. The cataclysm that ended the reptile rule on this planet forced these creatures into a symbiotic relationship with the newly arrived aliens.

A small electronic device is lodged in the skulls of the creatures.
