Well, maybe!
Researchers at the space agency believe they have discovered vital clues that appeared to indicate that primitive aliens could be living on the planet. Data from Nasa's Cassini probe has analysed the complex chemistry on the surface of Titan, which experts say is the only moon around the planet to have a dense atmosphere.

...The research has been detailed in two separate studies. The first paper, in the journal Icarus, shows that hydrogen gas flowing throughout the planet’s atmosphere disappeared at the surface. This suggested that alien forms could in fact breathe. The second paper, in the Journal of Geophysical Research, concluded that there was lack of the chemical on the surface. Scientists were then led to believe it had been possibly consumed by life.

...“We suggested hydrogen consumption because it's the obvious gas for life to consume on Titan, similar to the way we consume oxygen on Earth. If these signs do turn out to be a sign of life, it would be doubly exciting because it would represent a second form of life independent from water-based life on Earth.”

Professor John Zarnecki, of the Open University, added: “We believe the chemistry is there for life to form. It just needs heat and warmth to kick-start the process. “In four billion years’ time, when the Sun swells into a red giant, it could be paradise on Titan.”

Let the plot bunnies begin! And for added inspiration on what we might find when we actually go there:

I don't see much in the way of sexual interest in a hydrogen breathing life form. God alone knows what it would look like . . .

After all there are fetishes and there are fetishes!
 
I bet those Titanites could inflate some big ol' balloons. Maybe they can fly. ;)
 
Don't take the bait.

"water-based life on Earth."

They jest, surely.

"Alcohol-based life."
"Jizz-based life."
"Treacly secretion-based life."

Those I can live with, water-based is an abhorrence that should be avoided by everyone except dolphins.
 
Morons. Indigenous life on Titan cant be 'alien'. The inconvenient truth is, thought is an alien experience for most of you.
 
Hydrogen breathing you say. If she belches or farts, there will be a major problem. That stuff is highly flammable. An after sex cigarette and.....

"BOOM"

Best reason to give up smoking I've yet to hear.
