'''Arachnus''' are armadillo-like creatures found on [[SR388]]. They appear on SR388 in ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'' and appear in a mimicked form in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. Arachnus appear much more sparingly than most other creatures in SR388. An [[X Parasite|X]] is assumed to have mimicked an Arachnus aboard the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L station]]. They are capable of attacking by with fireballs and they can also ram their targets.

Samus battles an [[X Parasite|X]] mimic on an Arachnus on the [[Main Deck]] of the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Research Station]]. This Arachnus, due to the nature of the X, is much more menacing and aggressive than the one seen on [[SR388|SR388's]] surface. Most of its 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 chest.
