Fission Metroids are Phazon mutated Metroids featured only in Metroid Prime.

Samus encounters them in the Phazon Core of the Impact Crater, Metroid Prime is also capable of spawning them. In the PAL and Metroid Prime: Trilogy version of the game, they can also be found in the bottom level of the Phazon Mines after the Omega Pirate is defeated. These creatures have specific vulnerabilities to different elements of nature, and therefore different one of Samus's Chozo-based beam weapons.

Vulnerabilities[edit | edit source]

Fission Metroids are capable of spitting into two Metroids, each vulnerable to a specific beam weapons. Due to the chaotic nature of Phazon, this vulnerability is completely random. Before splitting, Samus may damage a Fission Metroid with any beam weapon; after splitting, she may damage them with the beam corresponding to its color as well as the Charge Combo.^[1]

As with all Metroids, they can be detached with a Morph Ball Bomb. The can also be instantly killed with a Power Bomb or a blast from the Phazon Beam.
