They can fire grenades that generate an {{wp|Electromagnetic Pulse|EMP}} capable of temporarily disabling [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] [[visor]] as well as the [[Dark Beam]]. At close range, they can attack Samus with a [[scythe]]. Samus encounters Dark Pirate Commandos in many places throughout [[Aether]] and [[Dark Aether]].<ref name=taco>{{cite|Only Hunter Ing are allowed to possess the Commandos, and the competition for that right is fierce among them.

== Trivia ==

*The Dark Pirate Commandos are similar to the [[Chozo Ghost|Chozo Ghosts]] in [[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]. Both can render themselves invisible and both can be targeted while invisible with a specific visor. In the Chozo Ghosts' case, it is the [[X-Ray Visor]].

*Samus can kill Dark Pirate Commandos faster by freezing them with a [[Charge Beam|charged]] Dark Beam then shattering them with a [[missile]] than she can with the [[Light Beam]]. They share this characteristic with the [[Dark Missile Trooper]].
