Muton Elite
The Muton Elite represent the elite warriors of the Muton species. Granted access to superior armour compared to their more common subordinates and a degree of genetic enhancements that slightly increases their combat skills.
Typically encountered early on in limited numbers commanding the Mutons as Leaders. As the war progresses the Aliens will eventually begin fielding UFO crews manned entirely by Muton Elites. Muton Elite terror forces make usage of Sectopods, Armoured Cyberdiscs and Muton Berserkers.
General information
Muton Elite are very similar in combat capabilities as regular Mutons. High health, strength, fast on the battlefield, average firing accuracy. The critical difference is that Muton Elite's wear far superior armour compared to Mutons, furthermore their armour has a slight resistance to laser weaponry, heavier ordinance will be required to reliably defeat these aliens. They retain full vulnerability to plasma weapons however.
One strategic note to be aware of is that Muton Elites, unlike Mutons, do possess 'Leader' ranked soldiers within their ranks. In the mid game when Mutons make their apperance known, you will only encounter Muton Elites filling in the role of Leaders for Muton forces. This could give a skewed opinion of these aliens as Leader ranked Muton Elites have the chance to wield very powerful weapons and have slightly increased combat statistics.
