Basically a giant Nautilus (large size).
"The Xarquid is a large, flying alien nautilus with substantial armor. Not only are they giant, they move in reverse. Real Nautilus float backwards with the tentacles behind - the Xarquid floats with the tentacles forward. They have a fairly powerful and accurate ranged attack (roughy equivalent to a SWS Gauss Cannon), and will mostly stay at long range and snipe at your units."
"The Xarquid is not a particularly difficult enemy. The greatest danger comes from its tendency to lurk in a particular location and use reaction fire to take out your Aquanauts (which is actually fairly smart considering the Xarquid is one of the slowest aliens)."

Description from game:
Xarquid
Another modfied Earth invertebrate, the Xarquid is a creature of great beauty and danger.
The swift swimming gargantuan hides a devastating arsenal of weapons, a smothering ink spray and an ionised particle blast.
Since our first encounters with this powerful creature we have been wary of its power and its controllers the vengeful Gillmen.

This overgrown Nautilus has beeen made huge on a diet of Alien drugs and surgical alterations. Perverted beyond the scope of nature, the Gillmen have added mechanical control systems to the creature and now none of the creature's original nature exists.
Deployed as an organic weapons platform, the Xarquids tough shell and mobility make it a formidable opponent.
http://www.ufopaedia.org/images/f/f8/XarquidAutopsy.pngThis creature is slow and methodical probably Aberration due to so much alteration. Lawful Evil. Probably can use this for the ink spray:
"Ink Cloud (Ex)
A Xarquid can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 20 feet high by 20 feet wide by 20 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the Xarquid normally uses to escape a losing fight. All vision within the cloud is obscured. "
Aquatic only (thankfully).
