A Squad Leader is one of the middle tier Alien Ranks and is exclusive to Terror From the Deep. It is somewhat equivalent to the Navigator Alien Rank in Enemy Unknown. They are the second most common Alien Rank, and will appear on all Alien Subs except the Survey Ship.

In combat, a Squad Leader has only slightly superior fighting skills to a Soldier. Tasoth Squad Leaders, however, are significantly stronger than Soldiers and also boast a powerful M.C. attack. This makes them arguably the most powerful non-Terrorist aliens in the game.
