The '''Parasite Queen''' is the first boss of ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', found in the Reactor Core of [[Frigate Orpheon]].


==Strategy==
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.
In order to kill the Parasite Queen, Samus needs to find the gap in her protective barrier and shoot her in the mouth. Effective weapons are [[Missile|missiles]] and the [[Charge Beam]].

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.

*[[Parasite Queen]]:
[[File:Parasite Queen mp1 Screenshot.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Samus Aran|Samus]] facing off against the Parasite Queen]]
:''[[Space Pirate]]s performed many experiments using [[Phazon]] as a means to artificially enhance physical strength. The Parasite Queens are the result of those experiments on one small life-form. This Parasite Queen lived in a nuclear reactor and fired destructive beams at Samus from its mouth. The barrier that spun around the queen reflected its and Samus's attacks.''
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.

===Other Specimens===
[[file:Parasite Queen mp1 Screenshot 01.png|thumb|left|250px|A dead Parasite Queen impaling a Space Pirate]]
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.
