'''Beetles''' are highly aggressive insects found in the [[Chozo Ruins]] and [[Tallon Overworld]] of [[Tallon IV]]. They burrow themselves into the ground and attack anything that comes near them. While underground, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can detect the Beetles' heat signature with the [[Thermal Visor]].

==Ethology and Morphology==
Beetles are extremely social and typically attack in large groups. One such group attacked Samus in the [[Ruined Shrine (Chozo Ruins)|Ruined Shrine]] of the Chozo Ruins before she could acquire the [[Morph Ball]]. They nest and incubate their young underground,<ref>{{cite|Analysis indicates incubating life-forms below the surface.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> and will put their lives on the line to protect their home and each other. When intruders disturb the nest but remain out of reach, Beetles will put on territorial displays including hopping in place, waving their decorative fins, growling, and barking from a distance.
