Morphology: Dark Tallon Metroid
Darkling-possessed energy parasite. Symbiote makes target stronger in battle. Vulnerable to concussive blasts. Dislikes bright light.
The Ing are fascinated by Metroids and their connection to Phazon. It is not a shared fascination, as Metroids will attack Ing on sight. Recognizing their strength, Ing darklings have possessed a number of Metroids, turning them into powerful soldiers of the Horde.
