A '''Core-X''' is a type of [[X Parasite]] found in creatures more powerful than those inhabited by most X.  This X will remain intact even after Samus defeats its host due to a hard shell that can only be cracked with [[Missile|Missiles]].

A '''Core-X''' is an [[X-Parasite]] allowing [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to recover one of her latent abilities when absorbed. Most Core-X attack simply by ramming into Samus. They tend to mimic larger and more dangerous creatures than most X. Even after she defeats a creature a Core-X mimics, it is still dangerous to Samus, as they have a hard shell which must be cracked with either [[Missile]]s or a [[Charge Beam|Charge Shot]] before Samus can absorb them. A Core-X that carries a beam weapon is known as a [[Hard Core-X]]. Upon defeat, Core-X yield a larger-than-normal X-Parasite for Samus to absorb. These X generally contain a game-vital upgrade.
