The Pulse Bombu is a creature that consists entirely of raw electricity. It glows as it floats through the air. It periodically releases explosive segments from its body and lacks any intelligence other than an instinctive attraction to charged energy sources.[2]
Samus encounters Pulse Bombus in the Chozo Ruins, Phendrana Drifts, and the Phazon Mines on Tallon IV. They pose no threat to her, though they will occasionally release explosive segments which will cause damage to her. They can only be damaged by electrical energy, requiring Samus to use her Wave Beam on them. However, if she charges her Wave Beam, due to their attraction to charged energy sources, they will instinctively go up to her, damaging her if they get too close. To prevent this, she simply has to avoid using the Charge Beam near them.
There is a variant known as Scatter Bombu. There is a invisible variation called a Void Bombu.
A robotic version created by the Luminoth is known as the Harmony Class Drone appears in Metroid Prime 2 and attacks the same way as a Pulse Bombu and is similar in appearence to them as well.
Two enemies that appear very similar to Pulse Bombus appear in Super Metroid on the Wrecked Ship and in Metroid Zero Mission in Chozodia.
