Dark Quads are Luminoth-built machines possessed by the Ing. Like their 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.[1]
The Command Modules use energy based attacks and are protected an energy shield that can switch between a light a dark polarity.[2] The Main Body uses melee attack, such as slashing with their legs or spinning.[3] 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 Bombs.[3] An unattached Command Module's shield can be overloaded by the Light or Dark Beams depending on the shields polarity, opening a window for attack.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

The Command Module relies on ranged beam weapon attacks. It can generate a powerful beam shield to protect itself. Opposite-polarity beams can penetrate this shield, however." —Logbook entry for Quad CM (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)

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)
