Plated Parasites are distant cousins to the Parasite. They are encased in protective armor, allowing them to withstand extremely high temperatures; they are possibly thermophilic, as they only seem to be seen in hot locations. Two powerful hooks protrude from its worm-like body. They are known for their amazing resilience and determination. Plated Parasites are only vulnerable to concussive attacks, causing them to have very few predators.[2]
Samus encounters Plated Parasites in the Chozo Ruins and Magmoor Caverns on Tallon IV. They usually can be found roaming about on rails Samus can ride on with the Spider Ball. She can easily destroy them by placing a Bomb near them. One or two Bombs will kill them.
