Dark Tallon Metroid

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Dark Tallon Metroids are enemies found in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

They are Darkling-possessed Metroids that prove as very important soldiers for the Horde. They are very durable, but retain the Ing's vulnerability to the Light Beam. Though they can be frozen like standard Tallon Metroids, their dark energy makes it much more difficult to freeze them effectively. Even so, they can eventually be frozen by a charged Dark Beam shot and shattered with a missile for an instant kill.

[edit] Trivia

• In one section of the Sky Temple Grounds, there is a Swarm of Dark Tallon Metroids, one of which is carrying a deceased Space Pirate. There are two other dead Pirates on the ground here; scans reveal that one of the two Pirates had been drained of its life by a Metroid but still had all of its ammunition, indicating that it was killed by a sneak attack. Scannning the other body on the ground shows that its ammo is gone: the scan says that this one "didn't go quietly."
