Dark Ingsmasher

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Dark Ingsmashers are Ingsmashers that have been possessed by the Ing. They are similar in appearance to the Ingsmasher, but with a characteristic black-and-purple Ing color scheme to their armor plating. Dark Ingsmashers are slightly more resilient than their non-possessed brethren, with a weakness to Light energy. However, they can still put up opposite-polarity screens of light or dark energy, sometimes requiring Samus to fire at them with the Dark Beam. With this, excepting the Emperor Ing itself, the Dark Ingsmashers are the pinnacle of Ing abilities to control light energy without harm. Dark Ingsmashers patrol the Ing Hive, but unlike their light counterparts, they tend to respawn, however seldomly.
