Arctic Spawn

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Arctic Spawns live on planet Arcterra and were featured in Metroid Prime Hunters. Samus encounters an 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.

[edit] Logbook entry

"Native to frozen habitats, this creature depends on low temperatures to survive. The ARCTIC SPAWN is territorial in the extreme and will attack any perceived threat by hurling immobilizing shards of razor-sharp ice."

[edit] Trivia

• Though the natural weakness of the Arctic Spawn is a fiery weapon such as the Magmaul, the Arctic Spawn can still be defeated by other weapons, such as the Power Beam.
• 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.
• The Arctic Spawn looks physically built similar to the Fire Spawn; this may suggest that they come from the same Spawn species and are highly adaptive to their environments.

• Artic Spawn looks slightly similar to a Pokémon named Regice.
• Even though the Arctic and Fire Spawns look 3-D, when viewed from above it is revealed that they are 2-D animated sprites.
