Alpha Splinter
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
An Alpha Splinter is the alpha male of a Splinter pack, usually a larger Splinter than its fellows. It uses the simple jumping attack deployed by all Splinters.
A group of Splinters and an Alpha Splinter resided in Aether's Great Temple. Samus Aran progressed through the temple and destroyed them all, even when the alpha was turned into a Dark Alpha Splinter.
