The capture of a Micronoid Aggregate is an essential step in the advancement of our knowledge. This formless mass of micro-organisms is found inside the bloodstream of other Alien forms. Each microscopic organism is an independent and intelligent life form. They communicate with each other using Psionic projection, but they are unresponsive to human Psionics. It is unclear whether these creatures are parasites or an integral part of the Alien spawn.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

A silent and slow moving green puddle of slime.

Infiltration
Micronoid Aggregates do not appear within any building.

Combat

Unit

A Micronoid Aggregate is very resistant to psionics.

A Micronoid Aggregate does not have any offensive capability. They are extremely vunerable since they have no armour although they are resistant to various ammunition effects. The very low height of this lifeform can make visual detection by agents difficult and when engaged in combat, difficult to hit.
Micronoid Aggregate's only method of combat is via Psionic manipulation of its victim. Humans and hybrids are often manipulated with Panic and Stun projections whereas Mind Control is effective against agents with low Psi-Defence due to the micronoid's lower proficiency in psionics compared to other alien lifeforms.

Resistance
Micronoid Aggregates are immune to stun gas and Toxin-A, very resistant to armour piercing ammunition, and resistant to laser and plasma weaponry, stun grapple effects, and Toxin-B.

Micronoid Aggregate research is the most critical step for understanding alien lifeforms, genetics and their agenda.

-You know, if the boot could be considered a weapon, it would be lethal to these creatures. They are pretty much piles of goo made up of psionic micro-organisms. These are the true antagonists of the game, for why see [[The Real Alien Threat (Apocalypse)|The Real Alien Threat]]. They aren't very antagonistic in this form however, since they have low movement, no physical attacks and not particularly effective psionic attacks. Not to be ignored though, since they will get mind controls off with enough tries. Micronoid Aggregates are quire rare, and are only reliably found in [[Alien Bomber (Apocalypse)Alien Bomber]]s and the Sleeping Chamber building in the alien dimension.

-To Capture: You need to use a stun grapple since they're immune to gas. Eliminate everyone except the Micronoid Aggregates, then send androids with stun grapples. Micronoids are completely powerless against androids and you can stun or kill them at leisure. The most reliable place to capture Micronoids is when assaulting an Alien Bomber, where they will usually hang back on the upper level and can often be found there alone after the rest of the crew has attacked you.
