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

Fission Metroids can only be found in the Phazon Core of the Impact Crater, Metroid Prime also spawns them in the battle against it. In the PAL and Metroid Prime Trilogy version of the game, they can also be found in the Phazon Mines after the Omega Pirate is defeated.

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.
