The Float Alien is a generic Alien species and they are the first in the series to float. Their skin is purple, and they appear to have elongated heads with eight eyes and their upper bodies reveal parts of the rib cage, connecting to a spine that stumps off with small appendages dangling off the ends. They have extremely skinny arms and in the replacement of hands, Float Aliens have very large, hook-like scythes. Despite this, they can still handle weapons.

The Float Alien appears as the only floating character in the first game, garnering him the title as the first floating character of the series. However, he does not feature in a game past the original TimeSplitters and many other floating characters have been established since. The Float Alien is unlockable in the Planet X mission, however he does not appear in the level, making his only appearance in the Spaceways mission.
Story[]

- Main article: Spaceways (Story)
Float Aliens, among other aliens appear at the Spaceways (Story). They appear in Spaceways in a lobby scene when you retrieve a health pack, stopping the Robots, Gretel and R108, from grabbing some goods and getting out of there, with little reason to be under fire.
