'''Zazabi-X''' is the second [[:Category:Bosses|boss]] [[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters aboard the [[B.S.L. Research Station]] which orbits [[~~SR-388~~]], the setting of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. It guards the [[High Jump Boots|High Jump]] ability ''(which in the Gameboy Advance [[Metroid (series)|Metroid]] games also includes the [[Spring Ball]] ability)''.

'''Zazabi-X''' is the second [[:Category:Bosses|boss]] [[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters aboard the [[B.S.L. Research Station]] which orbits [[SR388]], the setting of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. It guards the [[High Jump Boots|High Jump]] ability ''(which in the Gameboy Advance [[Metroid (series)|Metroid]] games also includes the [[Spring Ball]] ability)''.

Its form resembles a [[Wikipedia:Medusa (biology)|medusa]] or a mobile [[Wikipedia:Sea Anemone|sea anemone]], but of a size much larger than any found on Earth. It has a large, cyclopean eye, and a translucent pinkish-purple body lined with tentacles and what appear to be teeth.

Somewhat strangely, there is no information either in-game or related media in regards to the species the [[X-Parasite]] is mimicking when in this form, apart from the assumed name ''Zazabi''. It is possible that it is a conglomeration of several species custom built by [[X~~-Parasite|X]]~~, as seen exhibited in [[Aqua-Pirates]], but there is little knowledge as to which creatures may be combined.

===Attacks===

[[File:PARACHUTEZ.png|left|thumb|175px|'''Zazabi-X''' executing its ''Parachute Trap'' attack, while exposing its weak point.]]'''Stomp''': A basic attack which takes advantage of the creature's contact damage. '''Zazabi-X''' will jump across the room, landing harshly in an attempt to crush [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~ with its mass.

'''Zazabi-X''' will jump across the room, landing harshly in an attempt to crush Samus with its mass.

'''Parachute Trap''': '''Zazabi-X''' is able to leap incredibly high and position itself above [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~, opening what is presumably its mouth to act as a parachute as it falls. Should [[Samus Aran|Samus]] be in its shadow when it lands, it will 'swallow' her whole. [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~ can only counter this by laying [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s while in [[Morph Ball]] mode, which will allow her to escape in a similar manner as when trapped by a [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]. It is also during this attack in which '''Zazabi-X''' reveals its 'weak spot', and opens itself to being damaged.

The ~~'jumpiness'~~ of ~~'''~~Zazabi-X~~'''~~'s attacks may be the reason why its [[Core-X]] restores [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~' [[High Jump Boots|High Jump]] ability.

The jumping abilities of Zazabi-X's attacks may be the reason why its [[Core-X]] restores Samus's [[High Jump Boots|High Jump]] ability.

===Defences===

~~'''~~Zazabi-X~~'''~~ is impossible to harm from the outside, as presumably its skin is incredibly resiliant to firepower. Should it be damaged, it is also able to 'shed' its damaged parts in order to continue battle for as long as possible.

Zazabi-X is impossible to harm from the outside, as presumably its skin is incredibly resiliant to firepower. Should it be damaged, it is also able to "shed" its damaged parts in order to continue battle for as long as possible.

===Weaknesses===

During its ''Parachute Trap'' attack, ~~'''~~Zazabi-X~~'''~~ reveals its insides in an attempt to 'swallow~~' [[~~Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~. When this attack is attempted, it can be damaged by firing [[Missile]]s or [[Charge Beam]]s into its gaping maw. This must be repeated until all its shell has been shed.

===Core-X===

Being a [[:Category:Bosses|boss creature]], ~~'''~~Zazabi-X~~'''~~ reveals, upon defeat, a [[Core-X]]. As the ability guarded is not a beam upgrade, the [[Core-X]] revealed will attempt only to ram [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~, having no projectile attacks. It is, however, only able to be damaged by [[Missile]]s or the [[Charge Beam]].

==Trivia==

*'''Zazabi-X''' is one of only two enemies in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' for which there is no non-X equivalent known or suspected. The other is [[Yakuza-X]].

*It is theorized that '''Zazabi-X''''s ability to jump incredibly high is the reason for its [[Core-X]] holding the key to [[Samus ~~Aran|Samus]]~~' [[High Jump Boots|High Jump]] and [[Spring Ball]] abilities. This theme can be seen in several other bosses in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''; the boss having a variant of the ability to be recovered ''(this is comparable to the similar convention in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]], in which [[Ing]] have possessed [[Samus Aran|Samus]]' abilities and use them against her)''.
