ETHEREAL

The Ethereals are easily the most remarkable of all the alien life forms
found in X-COM.     Autopsies have shown that the actual physical structure
of the species is an almost unbelievably retarded and incapable system, with
the brain being the only fully developed organ in the body.     This,
however, is why the Ethereals are among the most formidable opponents you'll
encounter, with awsome mental abilities far beyond that of any other species
known.     These powers are used for communication between Ethereals and
other alien species, along with telekinetic activities such as flying.
   The Ethereals aren the highest ranking  and most intelligent of the
aliens,  generally preferring to plan and control operations away from the
battle lines.     However, when they are involved in combat, even the
lowiest soldier has  psionic attack capabilities.      It appears that their
strong telekinetec power allows them to function physically with such under
developed structure, and in combat they appear no more vulnerable to attack
than the larger aliens.    They also seem able to offer stronger resistance
to stunning tactics.
