Darklings are creatures or machines possessed by the Ing. They were the Luminoth's first contact with the Ing.[1] After undergoing possession, the host will become more resilient and stronger, but will inherit the Ing's vulnerability to the Light Beam. The host can sometimes added gain abilities after possession.[2] The Luminoth are able to temporarily resist possession, but if they were to fail they would kill themselves before going under the control of the Ing.[3] Samus is immune to possession due to the Energy Transfer Module in her possession.
