Another new unit created for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the Thin Man was clearly inspired by the "thin man" or "slender man" myths of alien and internet myths. At first glance human in appearance, they hide their reptilian eyes behind oval shaped sunglasses. However, on the inside, they have a very alien physiology, with a unique organ and bone structure that is segmented--akin to that of serpents. While an average unit that inflicts average damage, they can be seen spawning in large numbers in the late game. In addition to being an infiltration specialist, the Thin Man also possess a large amount of knowledge of the alien's navigation systems and cartography. Upon death, they release a large poisonous aura that will damage any unit that lands in it.
