The Phazon Metroid is similar in appearance to Metroids, the only differences being that they are split down the middle by a membrane and their larger talons are sharper and stick out more. They also have a small ring of smaller teeth surrounding their mouths. Phazon Metroids are only featured in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. If one latches onto Samus, she must go into Morph Ball form and lay a Bomb to get it off. She can also use the Hyper Ball to dispatch them while they are latched onto her. Unlike normal Metroids, Phazon Metroids have the strength to carry a Morph Ball into the air, limiting the effects of ill-timed Bombs and increasing their threat level. Despite these abilities, when a Phazon Metroid leeches energy, it does not increase in size like in the previous Prime games. In addition to their other abilities, they can temporarily warp out of local spacetime, making them intangible. They'll often do this to avoid being frozen by an Ice Missile, since they share the Metroids' weakness to cold; they cannot do so, however, when preparing to fly at a victim.

Their membranes have properties similar to Phazite, and cover a weak point that can be targeted with the X-Ray Visor and destroyed with the Nova Beam for a quick kill. Also they can fire a bolt of phazon energy that looks like an electric arc to engage foes at a distance, making them very dangerous opponents even for those with freezing weapons.

The Phazon Metroids appear mostly in Space Pirate areas and on Phaaze. They can also be spawned by a Metroid Hatcher.
