Phazon Nightbarb

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Phazon Nightbarbs are Nightbarbs which were mutated from contact with Phazon. They are tough to kill and are able to group together to fire large energy bursts. The energy is unstable, and any contact with a different bioform or other forms of energy can make it detonate. To make the energy bursts, they must sacrifice some of their own energy. Destroying the energy burst before it can fire is the only easy way to kill them. They are only found on Bryyo. The Nightbarbs' attacks can be told apart in the following ways:

• If they make a circle that shimmers green, they will launch 3 energy orbs.
• If they make a circle that shimmers violet, they will perform a suicide run.

These attacks are similar to those of a Swarmbot.

[edit] Logbook entry

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "Phazon Nightbarbs have enhanced aerial mobility that makes them all but impossible to hit with normal shots. The group will work together to create a powerful energy burst that they will fire at their prey. Detonating the energy charge with normal attacks before it fires should destroy them. Phazon Nightbarbs are the results of Nightbarbs being exposed to Phazon radiation. These mutations look similar to their uncorrupted counterparts, but are characterized by their greatly increased offensive and defensive capabilities."
