Metroid/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 706:

* [[Beam Spam]]: Warrior Ing can channel energy from other dimensions through portals. They primarily use this tactic to push targets out of safe zones.

* [[Bee People]]: They behave like them.

* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Not every species on Dark Aether is ''necessarily'' evil, but these guys are by far the dominant force on the planet and are very evil.

* [[Dark Is Evil]]

* [[Demonic Possession]]: What they're good at.

* [[Elite Mooks]]: Hunter Ing and Ing Storms, both capable of flight.

Line 729:

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Dark Samus during the events of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was certainly depicted as being completely insane, namely due to being imbalanced at a molecular level, almost to [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka Palazzo]] levels.

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Just as much as the real Samus, it seems.

* [[Barrier Change Boss]]: It can only be harmed by one type of beam. It routinely shifts which beam that is, indicated by the color of its armor.

* [[Barrier Change Boss]]

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the ''Prime'' Trilogy. It doesn't really come into the role until the third game, though.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: In ''Corruption''.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Is seen projecting these from her armor in concept art. In fact, these are how Dark Samus was made!

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Her skirmishes with the space pirates on Aether all see her quickly cut through them {{spoiler|Then she applies it to the hunters from Prime 3, in case anyone had doubts about her threat level already}}.

* [[Deflector Shields]]: Has them at a couple points

Line 749:

* [[Mega Manning]]: {{spoiler|First some space pirates armor and weapons, then the phazon suit and finally she acquires the abilities of other Hunters besides Samus during the events of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.}}

* [[Mind Control]]: Does a whole lot of it later.

* [[Mook Maker]]: In ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', she could produce copies of herself.

* [[Mook Maker]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Despite her psychopathic nature, she actually shows some degree of compassion towards Metroids held captive by the Space Pirates in the second game. {{spoiler|This makes sense because she ''is'' a Metroid.}}

* [[Recurring Boss]]

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Fought three times in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Inverted: She starts out as being completely insane in Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. By the time of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, however, she has become sane enough to make complex plans that ensure that she succeeds, although she does retain a high degree of instabilitiy.

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: To Samus, obviously but given the series continuity, this is partly retroactive. In fusion Samus talks about how the SAX must be stopped before it ever realizes potential and becomes a threat to the galaxy, which is exactly what we see Dark Samus do. {{spoiler|The kicker is that by becoming part Metroid she is even more like Dark Samus, despite having an opposite motivation and is fighting what functionally might as well be her old self since it has most of her old abilities.}}

Line 766:

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: It's a mutagenic substance that the Space Pirates exploit for a power-up. Samus herself gets to experience its potential during the final battle against Metroid Prime in the eponymous game then goes whole-hog and uses it for her own power source by ''Metroid Prime 3'' (not by choice, but it has its upsides).

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]

* {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination]]}}: Revealed in ''Prime 3'' to be {{spoiler|basically a huge transdimensional being with a heart the size of a planet}}.

* [[The Corruption]]: Phazon usually prefers to kill and absorb weaker beings, but if the victim is strong enough, it is instead mutated and becomes an agent of Phazon.

* [[The Corruption]]

* [[Fungus Humongous]]: There are some giant mushrooms that seem very heavily saturated with Phazon.

* {{spoiler|[[Genius Loci]]: Its core is Phaaze, a huge sentient planet.}}

Line 776:

* [[Psycho Serum]]: Phazon tends to drive its infectees insane if it does not kill them.

* [[Scenery Gorn]]/[[Scenery Porn]]: In the midst of Phazon twisting environments into strange forms, it ''does'' make things very pleasant to look at.

* [[Sentient Phlebotinum]]

* [[Sentient Phlebotinum]]: It seems to be more self aware than grass, but does not seem to be particularly intelligent.

* [[Toxic Phlebotinum]]: Everything it doesn't kill, it turns a violent killing machine, usually with a shortened lifespan. The space pirates discovered a strain that could be integrated into an organism's DNA and give it a higher tolerance to the substance but it still only worked in one case. {{spoiler|Three if you count Samus and Metroid Prime.}}

** If you break canisters of Phazon around Ing, they die. The Ing live on a toxic planet and still can't take it! {{spoiler|The Emperor Ing survived and started hording it.}}

Line 785:

* [[Body Horror]]: As if its organic components weren't horrific enough already, as it takes damage in ''Fusion'', its face begins to melt off.

* [[Cyborg]]: Inverted. It's a machine with organic components installed. Those organic components are what let the X infect it, much like its fellow machine-with-organic-parts, the B.O.X. security droid.

* [[Gravity Master]]: It can slow Samus down, stop her ability to space jump and cause her missiles to prematurely crash before hitting it. ''Metroid: Other M'' shows it can also create miniature ''black holes'' to absorb and redirect Samus' shots. It can not unload its full arsenal while doing this however.

* [[Gravity Master]]

* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Its voice sounds less like a looming bioweapon and more like a crying baby.

* [[Nightmare Face]]: Six horrid little yellow eyes and saggy, snot-green skin. In ''Metroid Fusion'', the face starts to ''melt'' as you shoot it!

* [[Nightmare Face]]

=== Gorea ===

Line 805:

* [[Mega Manning]]: First phase.

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: It blowing up its arms doesn't bother it much {{spoiler|in fact, the limbs are the only thing Samus's weapons can damage. The final stage is against a flying torso!}} If you're not quick, it will grow them back.

** [[Cognizant Limbs]]: While Hunters has no lock-on feature, Gorea's arms have their own health bars. As does the seal sphere.

** [[Cognizant Limbs]]

* [[Raymanian Limbs]]

* [[Raymanian Limbs]]: Its head, much like Trace.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Apparently, no one thought to gag it though, since it can still talk or otherwise send messages.

** [[Sealed Good in a Can]]: One of these acts as its [[Restraining Bolt]].

** [[Oubliette]]: Tailor-made cans.
