In ''Fusion'', Samus battles an X mimic of an Arachnus on the [[Main Deck]] of the B.S.L Research Station. This Arachnus, due to the nature of the X, is much more aggressive than the one seen on SR388's surface. Its basic fighting abilities are similar to the one Samus fought on SR388, but the X mimic has a variety of other abilities. From its claws, it can unleash a large wave of energy, and its fireballs detonate on the ground, creating a wave of flame in its wake. Samus can defeat it by firing at its exposed chest, but its shelled back is invulnerable. | In ''Fusion'', Samus battles an X mimic of an Arachnus on the [[Main Deck]] of the B.S.L Research Station.
