'''Dark Quads''' are [[Luminoth]]-built machines | '''Dark Quads''' are [[Luminoth]]-built machines possessed by the [[Ing]]. Like their [[Quad|light counterparts]], they are separated into a Main Body and a Command Module. Both components are possessed by separate Ing, with the Command Module being possessed by a dominant one.<ref name=dmb/> | ||

These units can function independently, or linked together, as the need arises. The Main Body uses melee attacks in battle. Though durable, it needs to vent excess heat from its body. When this happens, it exposes a venting system vulnerable to concussive attacks.|Logbook|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> When both components are combined, a Dark Quad is capable of firing a potent energy beam. | ||
When combined, the Command Module is unshielded and vulnerable to any attack. The Main Body is more resilient and can only be damaged when it vents heat, which is done when its spin attack is interrupted or when the Dark Quad fires an energy beam. This exposes a venting system that is vulnerable to the [[Boost Ball]] and [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]].<ref name=mb/> An unattached Command Module's shield can be overloaded by the [[Light Beam|Light]] or [[Dark Beam|Dark]] Beams depending on the shields polarity, opening a window for attack.<ref name=cm/> The shield is incapable of stopping the blast of a [[Power Bomb]], which destroys the Command Module instantly. | |||
Like their light counterparts, a Command Module can attached itself to an unused Main Body if the one it occupied was destroyed.

When one approaches a headless body, the body transmits a homing signal, however this exposes its venting system to attack. The ability to take command of another body is not just limited to a [[Darkling]] Main Body, a Dark Command Module is capable of attaching itself to a normal body as well. This can only be observed in the [[Sanctuary Temple]] if Samus destroys the Command Module of one of the two Quads in the room prior to its possession. | ||
[[Samus Aran|Samus]] first battles Dark Quads in the Sanctuary Temple. She encounters them a second and final time when she battles [[Quadraxis]], a large Quad-like mechanoid capable of generating them. | [[Samus Aran|Samus]] first battles Dark Quads in the Sanctuary Temple.
