The '''Alpha Sandigger''' is the dominant male of the [[Sandigger]] species of [[Agon Wastes]] and the second boss in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. Like other Sandiggers, it attacks by ramming and firing acidic fluid. Shortly into the battle, it is possessed by the [[Ing]], and turns into the '''Bomb Guardian'''.

==Battle==
===Alpha Sandigger===
The Alpha Sandigger attacks in the same manner as a normal Sandigger. Its attacks are more potent than those of normal Sandiggers. A short while after the battle's start, it becomes possessed and the battle with the Bomb Guardian begins.

===Bomb Guardian===
Shortly after the Alpha Sandigger attacks [[Samus Aran|Samus]], it is possessed by the Ing that stole Samus's [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]]. The Bomb Guardian's second head mutates and gains the ability to drop Bombs. It will crawl around the arena, dropping several bombs out behind its tail, or spraying several bombs in a spreadshot pattern. Its mandibles will not open, preventing Samus from attacking the Bomb Guardian. Its tail is more sensitive however, allowing Samus to temporarily stun the creature with enough damage. During this time, Samus can damage the creature's head, but if she fails to attack it enough the Bomb Guardian will fire out a large amount of Bombs.

==Trivia==
*Unlike the [[Alpha Splinter]], the Alpha Sandigger is possessed after a certain amount of time, instead of after a certain amount of damage taken. This makes the scan for the Alpha Sandigger a matter of priority once the battle starts.
