Warp Hound

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

The Warp Hounds at Bryyo Fire.

Warp Hounds are creatures found in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Warp Hounds are dangerous foes, thanks to their highly fast "warping" system, in which they are able to teleport from point to point. This feature allows them to ambush enemies in their large numbers to bring down their enemies speedily.

They are used by the Reptilicus essentially as guard dogs. They may have been used by the Bryyonians as well. Ice attacks are their only real weakness and so they are weak against Ice Missiles, thanks to their Fuel Gel consuming ways. Once Samus aquires the Seeker Missile she can take them out faster. Their belly area can also be damaged by Bombs. Warp Hounds also have the ability to create large shockwaves of disrupting energy, which they use if an enemy wanders to close. They can be difficult enemies to engage, as they make a habit of teleporting regulary in battle. They can also regurgitate Fuel Gel onto enemies, hindering the foe's movement considerably.

[edit] Logbook entry

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "Warp Hounds are susceptible to low-temperature attacks, due to the nature of their thermal-energy-driven biosystem. They are often used by Reptilicus as guards and hunt beasts. They consume Fuel Gel to survive, and can expel blasts of converted thermal energy to attack and defend. The creatures can teleport over short distances, disrupting many forms of electronic targeting in the process."
