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]]s 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]] | The Parasite Queen boss battle, like many early battles, is a relatively easy, one-stage battle.

Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area.

The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind. It is one of three known specimens, all found on Frigate Orpheon. The other two, however, are dead. Parasite Queens come about as the result of unknown methods of mutating a [[Parasite]] with [[Phazon]], [[Phazon Corruption|corrupting]] the creature. | The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind.
