Template:Enemy-infobox Dark Quads are Luminoth-built machines possessed by the Ing. They are separated into a Main Body and a Command Module, and both are capable of operating individually.[1][2] Lesser Ing take control of the Main Body while stronger Ing take the Command Module.[3][4]
The Main Body attacks with melee attacks, such as slashing, and are also capable of spinning at a high rate to deflect most attacks. The Command Module uses energy-based attacks, which are also capable of generating shields to protect itself.[1] They Main Body is more armored and less susceptible to weapons fire, but vulnerable when venting heat.[2] While connected, Dark Quads can fire a sustained beam of energy.
Samus first encounters Dark Quads in the Sanctuary Temple, then later in the Ing Hive while battling Quadraxis, who is capable of generating them.
