'''Quads''' are [[Luminoth]] built Mechanoids that were originally used to combat the [[Ing]]; but as with other Mechanoids, they were turned against their creators by the Ing. They are controlled by a Command Module which is capable of operating without its Main Body. The Main Body is also capable of operating without a Command Module.

== Abilities ==
Quads have several offensive and defensive abilities:
*While the Main Body and Command Module are connected, a sustained energy beam may be fired. A weak point that Samus may exploit is present while the beam is active.
*The Main Body is capable of using melee attacks including slashing and spinning, Samus may counter the spinning by [[Boost Ball|boosting]] directly into it.
*The Command Module can generate shields that can only be overloaded with a beam with the opposite polarity, firing energy bursts, or connecting with the Main Body of another Quad.
== Dark Quad ==
Dark Quads do not have any abilities not present in a regular Quad, except for increased resistance. Quadraxis generates these in the battle against it.


The Main Body attacks with melee attacks such as slashing and are also capable of spinning at a high rate to deflect most attacks.

Template:Enemy-infobox Quads are Luminoth built machines that were originally used to combat the Ing; but as with other machines, they were turned against their creators by the Ing. They are separated into a Main Body and a Command Module, both are capable of operating individually.[1][2]


The Main Body attacks with melee attacks such as slashing and are also capable of spinning at a high rate to deflect most attacks. The Command Module uses energy based attacks and are also capable of generating shields to protect itself.[1] They Main Body is more armored and less susceptible to weapons fire, but vulnerable when venting heat.[2] While connected, Quads can fire a sustained beam of energy.
