Line 648:
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hive Queen]]}}: {{spoiler|Since ''Other M'''s Metroid Queen is cloned straight from the baby and only special infants have the genetic coding to become queens, it would appear that the hatchling was indeed an infant Queen.}}
* [[Last of His Kind]]: For a time it was in captivity, and the galaxy was at peace. Neither lasted.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Subverted as far as [[Mama Bear|Samus]] is concerned.
Line 669:
* [[Stealth Pun]] The X infect a machine with the acronym B.O.X. {{spoiler|So, it's the X-Box.}}
* [[The Soulless]]: Never had one to begin with.
* [[The Virus]]: Though not literally viruses, you do fight both infected victims and mimics made by the X using their hosts' DNA.
* [[You Will Be Assimilated]]: They even retain the host's knowledge and memories.
Line 679:
[[File:Luminoth 3105.jpg|frame]]
* [[Always Lawful Good]]: Though we really only learn about their species wide interactions, founders, heroes and the desperate actions they take in the face of an enemy bent on their annihilation, so anyone could come off like that.
* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance]]: They are basically humanoid moths. So, it's natural that they would have a deep attraction to light.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]/[[Punny Name]]: Their species name is basically a combination of the Latin "lumen" for light and "moth."
Line 688:
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]: They're basically giant moths.
* {{spoiler|[[Kneel Before Frodo]]}}: What they do after {{spoiler|Samus destroys the Ing}}.
* [[Light Is Good]]: Sort of. The light of Aether is supposedly part of what makes their technology possible and it is what kept the Ing from immediately overrunning them, but from Federation data, it can be implied it is also what makes Aether "dimensionally unstable", which is what allowed Dark Aether to form in the first place.
* [[Most Writers Are Human]]: The fact that Samus is fighting to help a species of ''humanoid'' moths against a species of very definitely ''non''-humanoid creatures is significant.
* [[Hopeless War]]: Both against the Ing and their own machines. The machines aren't able to combat the Ing well themselves, but are not priority targets for them beyond extra weapons systems.
