Cretaphid is a boss that appears in Metroid Prime Hunters. Creatphids are the creations of the Alimbics and are designed to guard Octoliths. Four appear in the game, each time with different powers. They look like a totem pole that has red and blue nodes. The nodes are only vulnerable to damage when they are blue, when all the nodes have been deactivated the core of the Cretaphid will appear. The Cretaphid core is the only true vulnerable point of any Cretaphid.

[edit] Cretaphid v1

Cretaphid v1 is the most basic version of Cretaphid. It only shoots red lasers from its nodes. Every time it loses a third of its health, the laser nodes move downwards.

[edit] Logbook entry

"Utilizing the most sophisticated ALIMBIC cybernetics, this massive cylindrical mechanism features precision chemical lasers. The CRETAPHID is a key component of ALIMBIC military defense technology, designed to safeguard the ALIMBIC's most scared objects."

[edit] Cretaphid v2

Cretaphid v2 shoots heat seeking green plasma balls instead of lasers, the red nodes shortly switch color now.

[edit] Logbook entry

"This modified version of the CRETAPHID cybernetic defense mechanism features bursts of heat-seeking plasma. A key component of ALIMBIC military defense technology, it was designed to safeguard the ALIMBIC's most sacred objects."

[edit] Cretaphid v3

Cretaphid v3 shoots red lasers and green plasma balls. Each node functions as only the generator of one type of weapon, the laser nodes are one level at a time and the other two levels are plasma nodes. The laser nodes move downward in the exact fashion of the Cretaphid v1.

[edit] Logbook entry

"Combining the features of its predecessors, this version of the cybernetic CRETAPHID tower features both precision chemical lasers and bursts of heat-seeking plasma. A central component of the ALIMBIC military defense system, it was designed to safeguard the ALIMBIC's most sacred objects."

[edit] Cretaphid v4

Cretaphid v4 is the similar to v3, except it can move around the room and now shoots deadlier green lasers.

[edit] Logbook entry

"The apex of the CRETAPHID line of cybernetic defenses, this ultimate model deploys lethal lasers and homing plasma from a mobile tower whose very casing is an offensive weapon. A key component of ALIMBIC military technology, it was designed to safeguard the ALIMBIC's most sacred objects."

[edit] Trivia

• If Samus fires a Missile at one of the green plasma balls a Cretaphid fires, the ball will freeze.
