'''Scarabs''' are nearly negligible creatures native to [[Tallon IV]]. They appear in two sections of the planet: [[Phendrana Drifts]] and [[Chozo Ruins]]. They tend to swarm in small rooms and narrow hallways, moving about in one inseparable mass. If they sense a hostile creature is near, they block the creature's path by embedding themselves onto walls, ceilings and floors.<ref name="Logbook"/> If the creature advances near embedded scarabs, they will explode violently. These creatures exhibit {{wp|swarm behaviour|swarm behavior}} and {{wp|swarm intelligence}}, acting as one although they are physically individual. Scarabs have no natural fear of death; finding strength in numbers, they are able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the swarm.<ref name="Logbook" /> Individually, these creatures are nearly insignificant, showing a low-threat level in the radar and causing minimal damage to [[Samus Aran|Samus]], however in large groups they have no trouble exploding their way through an [[Energy Tank|Energy Tank's]] worth of damage.
