Hallucinoid

The Hallucinoid is a large, flying alien jellyfish usually found in the company of Aquatoids underwater. It is fairly resilient, but is limited to melee attacks. It is not particularly aggressive and thus is not particularly dangerous. Still, its melee attack is fairly powerful, and low-tech weapons will struggle to bring it down. Explosives or Sonic weapons are recommended against it. It seems that it was originally meant to have a powerful ranged attack. However, due to bug or design error, it seems this weapon works only on land... where the Hallucinoid never appears.

Live Specimen

Having harvested the oceans the aliens have bred these huge Earth creatures as a weapon. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security when facing these harmless looking sailors of the deeps.

Possessed of a formidable, ranged, freezing blast and a close combat icy strike, the Hallucinoid is a deadly foe.

Autopsy

Nested in the many layers of the gelatinous body of this organism is a powerful chemical freezer, it's main offensive capability. The soft and supple skin of the Hallucinoid seems susceptible to heat based attacks. Often this mutant is found in the company of its masters, the Aquatoids.
