'''Chykka''' is a massive, rapid growing insect that serves as the Guardian of the Energy Controller in [[Dark Torvus Bog]]. Once defeated Samus may claim the [[Dark Visor]].

==Battle==
===Chykka Larva===
After [[Samus Aran|Samus]] frees the Chykka Larva from its cocoon, it will begin circling around her. It will occasionally jump into the air and spit a large ball of acid, allowing Samus to damage it. It will sometimes jump straight over the platform and spit a large blast of acid. The Larva may also jump onto the platform that Samus is on and attempt to grab onto her with its long tongue, becoming very vulnerable when it does. If Samus damages it enough it will become stunned then slowly slide back into the water, giving Samus further time to damage it.<ref name=larva/>

===Chykka Adult===
After Samus damages Chykka enough, it will momentarily disappear before returning in its adult form. The Chykka Adult will attack Samus by ramming and by firing massive bursts of dark water. In order to damage it Samus must first stun it by using beam weapons; all Missile attacks will deflect off it if not stunned. After Samus stuns Chykka, its four wings will become vulnerable. Samus must use several [[Grapple Point]]s to go around to behind the creature and damage the wings with either a [[Super Missile]] or the [[Seeker Missile]]. After inflicting critical damage to all four wings, Chykka will fall into the water, emerging as Dark Chykka.<ref name=chykka/>

===Dark Chykka===
Samus can only damage Dark Chykka by firing directly at its eggsac. It will spawn swarms of infant Chykka called Chykling from the eggsac. After Samus damages its eggsac enough Chykka will revert back to its normal Adult form. Once Samus damages Chykka's wings again, Chykka will again become Dark Chykka. The pattern repeats until Chykka's defeat.<ref name=dark/>
