Infant Tallon Metroid

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Infant Tallon Metroids are the infant form of the Tallon Metroids seen in the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

The infants are transported in large numbers by the Space Pirates in cocoons, and used as portable energy sources. They are relatively harmless in this stage; they lack the ability to drain life energy, and can only ram their opponents in defense. However, exposure to Phazon causes them to rapidly mature into Tallon Metroids, making them more powerful and much more dangerous. They look very similar to Miniroids.

[edit] Logbook Entry

• The Space Pirates use Infant Tallon Metroids as a portable energy source. Small in size, they are easy to transport in large quantities. They are docile efficient organic batteries... until they are exposed to Phazon. At that point, they grow rapidly and acquire thier full array of powers.
