Xenomorph (Metroid)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Xenomorphs in the Metroid Prime Hunters demo (entitled First Hunt) are flying creatures exhibiting no forms of attack or defense mechanisms. Instead, these creatures wander around aimlessly. However, Xenomorphs are capable of hurting the player's character if touched. Some Xenomorphs have the ability to warp across the room.
Xenomorphs can be destroyed with 2 shots, a charged shot or a missile.
Xenomorphs are the primary enemy in both Regulator and Survival mode. They were worth 10 points in regulator and 1 in survivor, but score multipliers increase their worth, based on killing speed in regulator and accuracy in survivor.
Xenomorphs typically travel in a pack of 3,000,000 or more.
Although in the demo, Xenomorphs, like Metroids, do not show up in the full game, Metroid Prime Hunters, and unlike other objects from the demo, like the Morph Ball Launcher, the models for both Xenomorphs and Metroids appear to have been removed completely.
The word Xenomorph is an homage to the Metroid series' similarity to the Alien movie series. The Aliens from the movies are sometimes referred to as Xenomorphs and are commonly called the same by fans.
Xenomorphs bear a striking resemblance to the Petrasyl, a common enemy in the final version of Hunters.
Xenomorphs are sometimes reffered as Fake Metroids. It may not be, but Xenomorphs might be just holograms that Samus Aran can test her skills on.
