The '''Alpha Splinter''' is the alpha male of the [[Splinter]] war pack. He is larger and faster than other Splinters. He attacks much like other Splinters, with increased potency due to his size, strength, and cunning.<ref name="Logbook 1"/>
The '''Alpha Splinter''' is the leader of the [[Splinter]] war pack. He is larger and faster than other Splinters. Like other Splinters, the Alpha Splinter attacks by ramming. Due to his increased speed and strength, his lunges are much faster and more damaging. The Alpha Splinter will also lunge directly into his targets' path, instead of directly at them.  
 
[[Samus Aran]] encounters the Alpha Splinter while exploring the [[Great Temple]]. She arrives at the [[Temple Sanctuary]], and sees a few Splinters hatch from cocoons on the ceiling. The Splinters are promptly possessed by the [[Ing]], turning into [[Dark Splinter]]s. After she kills the Dark Splinters, an extremely large cocoon hatches, spawning the Alpha Splinter. After its defeat, the [[Ing]] in possession of the [[Energy Transfer Module]] possesses it, creating a '''Dark Alpha Splinter''', with the intention of stealing the last remaining energy of [[Aether]].


==Battle==
[[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters him in the [[Great Temple]] after she kills a large group of [[Dark Splinter]]s, though it is quickly possessed by an [[Ing]] wishing to drain [[Aether|Aether's]] final [[Energy Controller]].<ref name="Logbook 1"/>
===Alpha Splinter===
The battle ensues in a roughly circular arena in the middle of the room. The Alpha Splinter attacks by lunging towards Samus, then quickly lunging back to the center of the room. It is capable of predicting where Samus will land if she should strafe in an attempt to dodge it. After Samus damages it enough, it is possessed by the Ing.


===Dark Alpha Splinter===
==Dark Alpha Splinter==
After Samus defeats the Alpha Splinter, the Ing possess it, creating a Dark Alpha Splinter. In this new form, it leaps at Samus again, and then fires a blast of Dark Energy from where it lands. It repeats this pattern until its defeat. It loses its ability to predict where Samus will be when he makes contact; instead, it lands where Samus was when it lunged.

The '''Dark Alpha Splinter''' gains the ability to fire bursts of dark energy after possession. He becomes faster and stronger, but will lunge directly at Samus.<ref name="Logbook 2"/>

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, the Dark Alpha Splinter may be easier to defeat after possession. Its loss of its ability to predict where Samus will land means that Samus must use far less cunning to dodge its attacks; she need only sidestep once after it has began its attack.
*The Japanese name for the Alpha Splinter is the "Giga Splinter."
