Mechanism: Ingkiller
Rogue Termination drone.
Powerful security unit armed with beam weapons. Target limbs to disable them and damage the unit.
The Ingkiller was designed to protect points of entry within the Luminoth Fortress from the Ing; it now seeks to eliminate all living things. Its four attack limbs can be disabled, forcing it to use a secondary beam attack to defend itself. The beam system requires sensor updates to function; a vulnerable detection unit will extend periodically to search for targets. Destroy it to take the beam offline.
I'm wondering if this is an early version of the Caretaker Class Drone, which has this final Scan Log:
The Caretaker drone was designed to protect and maintain an experimental energy chamber. It uses electrically charged limbs to perform its duties. The drone requires sensor updates to fight: a vulnerable detection unit will extend periodically to search for targets. Destroying this unit would weaken its combat ability.
If it's not, the Ingkiller sounds like a mix of enemies. Specifically, the Quads (with the four attack limbs), Quadraxis (with the "beam system requires updates to function"), and the Caretaker Class Drone ("vulnerable detection unit"). It could be a completely new enemy.
It's likely an early version of the Caretaker, though.
Morphology: Emperor Ing
Ruler of the Ing Horde.
Target has absorbed large amounts of Phazon. Unstable biostructures detected; target crystalling masses to damage enemy.
Bioscans indicate that this is the eldest, strongest Ing in the Horde, the alpha and the omega. It has absorbed enormous amounts of Phazon into its body, energizing and mutating it in the process. Strangely, some of the Phazon has become unstable as a result; target clusters of crystallized Phazon to damage the enemy with feedback from their destruction.
Huh. Sounds bland, actually. But the "target clusters of crystallized Phazon" bit is interesting. Throughout the Prime series, you typically need to overcharge Phazon with... more Phazon. Maybe you were to get the Phazon Beam before the final Dark Samus battle?
Also, I'm glad that they dropped the different names for the guardians and just went to "Boost Ball Guardian," "Jump Guardian," ect.
