Foetus is a solo musical project of Australian musician, JG Thirlwell. The project has had many similar names, each including the word "Foetus". The "members" of the project are aliases of Thirlwell; they include Frank Want, Phillip Toss, and Clint Ruin. Thirlwell occasionally collaborates with other artists, but does not consider them to be members of Foetus. In 1981 after the breakup of PragVEC, Thirlwell started his own solo music project under the name of "Foetus Under Glass." After the album "Thaw" Thirlwell stopped changing the name and kept it just as Foetus.
