There are two types; the rather harmless ones are silacoids. They are almost invulnerable to incendiary ammo. As far as I remember it's this type that leaves a trail on the floor when hovering around at your base. Don't know about alien bases though.
Similar in appearance but far more dangerous are celatids who also accompany mutons, just like silacoids. But celatids fire corrosive acid, that's fired like any alien weapon (I mean, it's a ranged attack, etc.). In any case it deals quite a bit of damage.

I'll contend to the Celatid damage. I managed to Mind Control one on Mars, and it only needed two shots to take out a Sectopod. A ****ing Sectopod. The only weapon that can do the job faster is a Heavy Laser, and they suck against anything else.
