| |
| The '''Parasite Queen''' is the first boss of ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', found in the [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]] of [[Frigate Orpheon]]. It is a [[Parasite]] mutated through [[Space Pirate]] experimentation. When [[Samus Aran]] enters the Reactor Core, the Parasite Queen appears inside a blue, seemingly impenetrable barrier.

| Parasite Queens are the result of a Space Pirate bioengineering program. They possess large muscle structures around their massive jaws, which also contain fluid sacs filled with acid.<ref name="Dead Queen mouth"/> These fluid sacs enlarge considerably after exposure to [[Phazon]], leading to an increase in production of corrosive bile.<ref>{{cite|The fluid sacs in the mouth enlarge after mutation. This allows for increased production of corrosive bile.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> Their tail sections end in a large, mouth-like orifice likely used to birth offspring, which survive their mother's acidic embryonic fluid by means of a tough exoskeleton.<ref>{{cite|Parasite egg in pupa stage.

| |
| The Parasite Queen boss battle, like many early battles, is a relatively easy, one-stage battle. To defeat the Parasite Queen, Samus must shoot the [[Power Beam]] or [[Missile]] at it while an open section of its shield is revealed. To attack, the Parasite queen launches acid from fluid sacs<ref name="Dead Queen mouth" /> located around its mouth. The acid it shoots is corrosive enough to damage Samus's [[Varia Suit]], meaning it is likely more powerful than [[Flaahgra|Flaahgra's]] toxic water found throughout [[Chozo Ruins]].
| |
|
| |
| Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area. [[Lock-On Orbiting]] is useful to catch up with the spinning shield or to catch it coming from the other side. Unlike many bosses, Parasite Queen's entire body is vulnerable to attack.

| |
| The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind. It is one of six known specimens, four of which are found on Frigate Orpheon and two found in [[Eastern SkyTown]], [[Elysia]]. The specimens on ''Orpheon'', however, located in the [[Emergency Evacuation Area]], [[Biohazard Containment (Frigate Orpheon)|Biohazard Containment]], and [[Biotech Research Area 1 (Frigate Orpheon)|Biotech Research Area 1]], are dead and hibernating, respectively. The specimen in hibernation breaks out of its containment while Samus is escaping Frigate Orpheon, but is killed in a powerful explosion.
| |
|
| |
| Two other dead Queens appear in [[Xenoresearch Lift A]] within the Space Pirates' labs in Eastern SkyTown, dead from experiments and the like.<ref name="Dead Queen 4"/><ref name="Dead Queen 5"/> Parasite Queens come about as the result of unknown methods of mutating a [[Parasite]] with [[Phazon]], [[Phazon Corruption|corrupting]] the creature.

| | The '''Parasite Queen''' is the first boss of [[Metroid Prime]], found in the Reactor Core of [[Frigate Orpheon]]. |
| | ==Strategy== |
| | To kill the Parasite Queen, you need to find the gap in her protective barrier and shoot her in the mouth. Effective weapons are missiles and the charge beam. |
