Metroid Database Bestiary

A simple scavenger life-form that possesses a crystalline outer shell. Parasites are hardy creatures, able to adapt to any environment within three generations. The Ice Parasite is a prime example. Having adjusted to a frigid climate, this vermin now thrives in it. Omnivorous, it can exist in areas hostile to most life-forms.

Though the ice parasite has evolved to withstand colder temperatures, its thicker exoskeleton does little to protect it from oncoming fire. A few blasts of your normal beam will turn it into ice cubes.
