The Omega Pirate, also known as Elite Pirate Upsilon, is the most powerful of the Elite Pirate forces and the pinnacle of Project Helix. Its body is more resilient than that of an Elite Pirate and it is capable of absorbing Phazon to regenerate, becoming invisible when it does.[1] Due to a design flaw in its energy absorption system not present in its Elite Pirate counterparts, it remains vulnerable to Missiles while attempting to siphon energy from beam weapons.[2]
Battle
Shortly after Samus enters its quarters, the Omega Pirate will shatter its stasis pod. Samus has to destroy the Phazon plates on its knees and shoulders, causing it to collapse. After collapsing the Omega Pirate will become invisible while two to three Pirate Troopers arrive to assist it. Eventually the Omega Pirate will appear in one of three veins of Phazon in the chamber to regenerate the plates, but it is completely vulnerable during this time. Samus must use the X-Ray Visor to target it, after blasting it enough the Omega Pirate will disappear again only to reappear at another vein of Phazon. If Samus damages it enough before it has finished regenerating, it will call for more reinforcements. Once defeated, it will collapse directly on top of Samus before disintegrating. The Phazon inside the Omega Pirate corrupts Samus's suit, giving her the Phazon Suit and the Phazon Beam.

- In early releases of the NTSC version, the Omega Pirate can become momentarily frozen before it breaks out of its statis pod. This can be exploited to damage it before it begins to move. This does not occur in any other versions of the game nor in later releases of the NTSC version.
- The Omega Pirate may be one of the largest bosses Samus has ever fought, along with Kraid, Quadraxis, Flaahgra, Mogenar, and Amorbis.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 "Most powerful of the Elite Pirate Forces. Omega Pirate can become invisible to normal sight. It is vulnerable when cloaked, as all energy is drawn from defense systems. By exposing itself to Phazon, it can regenerate damaged tissue and organs. Considered the pinnacle of the Elite Pirate program, this enemy should be handled with extreme caution and maximum firepower." —Metroid Prime Logbook "Omega Pirate" (Metroid Prime)
- ↑ "Omega Pirate Absorption System test results are in. Field tests indicate that the system is very effective against Beam weaponry. We are alarmed at the field's inability to handle Missile attacks, however. Science Team is working around the clock to correct this critical design flaw. The Omega Pirate cannot afford such a weakness in battle." —Scan Data (Metroid Prime)
- ↑ "Elite Pirate Upsilon's propensity for Phazon has enabled our research team to infuse it far beyond our safety restrictions, and the results have been extremely encouraging. Its constant Phazon diet has increased its mass exponentially, but it has retained all mental faculties and shows dexterity with all Elite weaponry, including Plasma Incendiary Launchers and the Chameleon Manta issued for cloaking purposes. Elite Pirate Upsilon exhibits miraculous healing abilities: when injured, it seeks out Phazon deposits and coats itself in the substance, which instantly mends the creature's wounds. The subject, which we are code-naming Omega Pirate based on these developments, shows potential to be a new standards for our armies. Our only concern at this point is its potential overdependence on Phazon." —Pirate Data "Omega Pirate" (Metroid Prime)
