Armored Pirate Trooper

An Armored Pirate Trooper is a Pirate Trooper with more armor. These troopers are first seen in the Temple of Bryyo prior to the battle with Rundas or in the Thorn Jungle (depending on which area is visited first). Their armor is resistant to Beam attacks, but can be ruptured with Missiles; the Hyper Beam is also effective against them. Once their armor is broken off, they'll become regular Pirate Troopers.

Trivia

• Armored Pirate Troopers bear a great resemblance to the standard Pirate Troopers found in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. However, the orb in their armor is blue instead of red, which likely represents the pirate's Phazon corruption.
