Mogenar is a boss in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the guardian of Bryyo's Leviathan core.

Mogenars are powerful Ancient Bryyonian War Golems. They differ in appearance and size from one another (in fact, one is seen to be as tall as a mountain). According to Bryyonian lore, they required a vast amount of fuel gel and various other sources of energy to stay functional; they were originally built to perform simple tasks until they were programmed to become machines of war. The only completely functional Mogenar that Samus encounters is the one located in the Leviathan seed on Bryyo, and it is infused with Phazon spouting out of the Leviathan's very core and thus has gone rogue. It boasts an imposing figure, that while not in the level of the awesome giant Quadraxis or the gigantic Space Pirate Kraid, is at least eight times taller than Samus, with an immense frame that makes it resemble some kind of Mesoamerican idol. He has three eyes on his reptilian-looking face, keeping in touch with its Bryyonian origins. All evidence seem to point out that the Mogenar faced in Bryyo's Seed was one of the special Golems built out of stone by the last of the Science Lords. Taking into account the advice given to him long ago by the Chozo, the special Mogenars were built using both the ancient magics of old and the highest technology of new; these war Golems had advantages over the purely mechanical Mogenars built by the other Science Lords.

When Samus approaches him, it activates, and using a rather unique ability, uses a form of holographic projection of its hands to pull 4 red orbs off nearby pedestals, putting two into slots on his shoulders, one on his belly, and one on his back. These orbs act as its weak points and energy generators, and all four must be destroyed by being firstly destroyed, and the radiation within, overloaded with Phazon energy from Hypermode to blow up the slot, rendering it useless. The three on his front can switch positions to avoid damage. Its attacks include ramming dives, energy streams, jumps that release a Phazon shockwave, generating additional holographic hands to attack Samus directly, slamming its hands against the floor to create a massive cave-in with Phazon rocks, or when its orbs are near destruction, stand in the middle of the room and use its holographic hands to retrieve more unharmed spheres from the pedestals of the room to regenerate his damaged ones. After destroying his first sphere and overloading its Phazon core, it will generate a form of Phazite on its feet for additional invulnerability, though this limits its attack range to only two attacks: its ramming dive, and its shockwave jump. These Phazite platings can be destroyed by simple Morph Ball bombs. The shockwave is just to tall to be jumped with the jump ballWhen the second of his orbs has been destroyed, Mogenar no longer uses its former regeneration technique; rather, the last remaining sphere on its front will start acquiring more and more armor as time flows, and speed is necessary to blast off the sphere's cap before it regenerates and overload it with Hypermode. When three of its spheres have been destroyed, the beast no longer can defend itself adequately and is mostly reduced, again, to its ramming dive attack and shockwave, though it can still throw in any of its attacks in-between. When the final orb is overloaded, it explodes, leaving behind the Hyper Ball and further contaminating Samus to reach a 25% corruption level. There is a glitch that causes him to hop down a sphincter in the Seed and disappear.

[edit] Trivia

• Due to his reptilian appearance and three eyes, Mogenar looks like Kraid. Also, Mogenar's boss music is a remix of the music heard when battling Kraid in Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission.
• Humorously you can freeze his face solid by firing an Ice Missile while he is doing his Mouth based Phazon Beam attack, or any other time he opens his mouth for that matter he just keeps his mouth open the longest when doing this attack, all his orbs will be open to attack while he tries to bite his way out of the ice.
• This is the music heard when battling Mogenar: [1]
