("IIRC" does not belong in the main article. In addition, Engineers often spawn with Small Launchers. More true on smaller UFOs, but can happen anywhere they can't spawn with a Blaster Launcher!) |

A Medic is one of the middle tier Alien Ranks, and is not particularly commonly found even on the larger UFOs. Their role on board is presumably to support other Aliens and heal them when they get injured, in practise they do not seem to fill this task very well, if at all.
In combat a Medic is the only the equal of most other ranks in combat, with reasonable intelligence, but lowered aggression. In terms of equipment they may well be using less powerful weapons that some other ranks, but not always. They are among the easiest opponents you will run into on any given mission, although only Sectoids and Floaters bring Medics along on their missions.
They are the MOST likely of any given rank to carry Small Launchers and Stun Bombs. Later on, Medics will carry Small Launchers almost exclusively.
