Line 58:
* [[Raised By Natives]]: By the Chozo.
* [[Red Baron]]: [[Mook Horror Show|Space Pirates call her]] ''[[Mook Horror Show|The Hunter]]''.
* [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?]]: In ''Echoes'', logs left by the troopers mention the two planets full of Space Pirates she's blown up. One of the ones who mentions the story thinks that the act was too much for a single human to accomplish...
** Although it's worth pointing out that, chronologically, she had not yet blown up any planets when that comment was made.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Implied that she has a very massive one against [[Big Bad|Mother Brain]] and [[The Dragon|Ridley]].
Line 106:
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]: Alpha and Gamma Metroids fall into this category.
* [[Intangible Man]]: Phazon Metroids
* [[Joker Immunity]]: They are almost as bad as [[Doctor Who (TV)|the Daleks]] in terms of going extinct and coming back.
* [[Ledge Bats]]: Fission Metroids in the impact crater.
* [[Life Energy]]: What they eat.
Line 190:
* {{spoiler|[[Kill It With Ice]]}}
* [[Mr. Fixit]]
* [[Rapid -Fire Typing]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]
 
Line 226:
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: The hunter, the shock coil, and the doors it opens are all blue.
* [[Cool Ship]]: The Delano 7.
* [[The End or- Or Is It?]]: {{spoiler|The apparent appearance of the Delano 7 at the end of ''Prime 3'' may count}}.
* [[Lightning Gun]]: The Shock Coil: its stream jumps to the nearest target, so little aiming is required, but it is sort of short ranged. Sylux can recover health when using it.
* [[Roar Before Beating]]: In the intro, though Sylux had already beaten someone, presumably the fighting wasn't over.
Line 298:
* [[Last of His Kind]]: Indeed, the reason why he is seeking the Ultimate Power in the Alimbic system is because it may provide him with an opportunity to find out what happened to the rest of his species.
* [[Magma Man]]: In fact, according to his scans, his body contains "molten ferrous compounds normally found only in ''a planet's core''." His weapon of choice shoots lava grenades, and charged shots light things on fire, doing more damage when he uses it. He can also move through lava without taking damage.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Spire seems very similar to [[The Legend of Zelda|Gorons]], in that both are rock-based creatures that role up into boulder-like balls.
* [[Silicon Based Life]]
* [[Wall Crawl]]: his Alternate form can do this.
Line 317:
* [[Raymanian Limbs]]: Well, his head has no connection to his body.
* [[Rite of Passage]]: His involvement in the story has him seeking the Octoliths as part of this. He fails, of course, but then again, {{spoiler|the "Ultimate Power" he was looking for didn't really exist in the first place}}.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Krikens are this to [[Invader Zim|Irken]].
 
=== Rundas ===
Line 347:
* [[Morph Weapon]]: He can create a variety of shapes to hit things with.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: Like old school Iceman, but better at it.
* [[Painfully -Slow Projectile]]: He shoots out a whole bunch to track a target and distract it while he zips off elsewhere; his serious shots are much faster.
* [[Space Fighter]]: his "Phrygisian-class gunship"
* [[Super Mode]]: After getting the P.E.D. suit and icon helmet.
Line 379:
* [[Shockwave Stomp]]: In his flying heavy suit.
* [[Shoulder Cannon]]: two in large armor.
* [[Shout -Out]]: His backstory, with him having to replace his body with a cybernetic one that alters his personality, seems inspired by [[Revenge of the Sith|General Grievous]], except that Ghor isn't a villain. {{spoiler|Not initially, at least}}.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Without his suit. Despite bounty hunting being his preferred profession, he's often asked to crack or control computer systems.
* [[Spin Attack]]
Line 395:
* [[Bounty Hunter]]
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Deadly Upgrade]]: The P.E.D. greatly enhances her amounts of [[Shape ShifterShapeshifter Baggage]] and stealth}}
* [[Elemental Punch]]: Strikes the ground when she wants space.
* [[Energy Beings]]: It seems the reason Gandrayda is able to shapeshift is because her natural form isn't really physical to begin with.
Line 404:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Though, to what extent she is actually "innocent" is debatable.
* [[Invisibility]]:She has a personal cloaking field
* {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]: Just prior to fighting Samus, after she nearly shot Samus while her back was turned. And a more insane laughter toward the end of her [[Shape ShifterShapeshifter Swan Song]], too.}}
* [[Life Drain]]
** Can be reversed for an [[Overclocking Attack]].
Line 412:
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Purple Skinned Space Babe]]: Or pink. Whichever you [[Fetish Fuel|prefer.]]
* [[The Rival]]: She really wanted to prove herself a better bounty hunter than Samus, who in turn [[Unknown Rival|didn't even know who Gandrayda was]] until Metroid Prime 3.
* {{spoiler|[[Shape ShifterShapeshifter Swan Song]]}}
* [[Shock and Awe]]: [[Morphic Resonance|It is her tell]].
* [[Super Mode]]: When she receives a P.E.D. vest.
Line 461:
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Hilariously, he is a [[Recycled in Space|space]] [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragon]] who is the leader of the Space Pirates and often comes back from the dead, sometimes as a cyborg. If you count that he is capable of invisibility in Super Metroid, he is a literal Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]
** [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: The Manga and some of the Data Logs in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' imply that his reason for being with the Space Pirates boils down to a sadistic love of killing other beings.
{{quote| '''Space Pirate Datalog''': We believe our creation, now called [[We Can Rebuild Him|Meta Ridley]], will become the mainstay of our security force, a job he will certainly relish.}}
Line 688:
** Special mention should go to J-Stl and A-Kul. J-Stl killed at least 100 Ing in ''his last stand'', and who knows how many he killed in total. A-Kul: went into Dark Aether, a god awful dimension filled to the brink with Ing that would kill her the second they got a chance and whose very air was deadly, found one of the ten keys to the temple that had all been hidden by the Ing, fought her way to the Sky Temple, and managed to place it there AND leave clues to the other keys before dying.
** The Sentinels of the Temples are perhaps the epitome of this, especially since they probably really are preachers. Scans reveal every one of them went down fighting. The one in Agon died while fending off innumerable Ing hordes, finally succumbing to superior numbers. The one in Torvus was possessed numerous times, and fought off ''each of them''. The Ing finally realized that they couldn't break his will and killed him. And the one in the Sanctuary Fortress was so badass, the Ing had to turn his own weapons of war against him, unable to defeat him themselves.
* [[Higher -Tech Species]]: They developed their unique technology through a combination of contact with the Chozo and their own experimentation on Aether. In fact, they might very well have gotten the chance to join the Chozo as [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] had they not gotten embroiled with the Ing.
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]: They're basically giant moths.
* {{spoiler|[[Kneel Before Frodo]]}}: What they do after {{spoiler|Samus destroys the Ing}}.
Line 696:
* [[Human Popsicle|Moth Popsicle]]: All but U-Mos are in stasis until the crisis is over. {{spoiler|In the final scene, they all get out and bow down before Samus in gratitude}}.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: More than one of them had these at least but it is not clear how many.
* [[Robot War]]: The machines they created for war, and even those for peace, decided that [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!|all living things must die]] while the Luminoth were already in the middle of the Ing war. Only the most basic maintenance bots remained loyal, though they weren't of much help, having no combat ability.
* [[Weather Control Machine]]: One of the marvels they made use of.
 
Line 758:
* [[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.}}
* [[Short -Range Shotgun]]: Cruelly averted.
* [[The Worm That Walks]]: Made of Phazon.
** Though that depends on to what extent you consider Phazon to be sentient/separate beings or just a substance.
