Arctic Spawn
Samus fights the Arctic Spawn
Featured in	Metroid Prime Hunters
Known locales	Fault Line
Known worlds	Arcterra
Attacks	Ice Blast
Weakness(es)	Any weapon to the mouth, but best weakness is the Magmaul.

The Arctic Spawn lives on planet Arcterra and is featured in Metroid Prime Hunters. Samus encounters the Arctic Spawn during her exploration of the Alimbic Cluster, and she must defeat it to gain the Imperialist, a sniping weapon. As a cold-adapted creature, it is highly resistant to cold damage, but conversely weak against heat-based weaponry, such as the Magmaul. It appears to be genetically similar to the heat-acclimated Fire Spawn.

TriviaEdit

• At the start of the encounter, the Arctic Spawn is seen erupting from the snow-covered ground of the Fault Line area. This possibly suggests that the Arctic Spawn lives underground in cold areas when undisturbed.
• Due to its living space being suggested as undergound, the Arctic Spawn could be responsible for the area's seismic activity as implied in the name Fault Line.
• Unlike the Fire Spawn, the Arctic Spawn does not leave behind a weapon with similar temperature association upon its defeat.
• The Arctic Spawn looks physically similar to the Fire Spawn; this may suggest that they come from the same Spawn species and are highly adaptive to their environments.
• Even though the Arctic and Fire Spawns look 3-D, when viewed from above it is revealed that they are 2-D animated sprites.
• The themes of both Spawns is a remix of the Parasite Queen theme from the original Metroid Prime.
