Dark Sentinel Crystal

From Metroid Wiki


Dark Sentinel Crystals are Utility Crystals of Luminoth design used to monitor key areas. The original Sentinel Crystals were incredibly durable,[1] but many were destroyed due to Dark Aether's toxic atmosphere and constant Ing attack. The improved Dark Sentinel Crystals are sheathed in dark energy, making them more resistant to the toxins of Dark Aether. They still broadcast to U-Mos, who uses the information to keep a watchful eye in Ing activity.

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Dark Sentinel Crystal
First Location: Dark Torvus Bog - Dark Forgotten Bridge
The original Sentinel Crystals were durable, but they had their limits. The toxic nature of Dark Aether, coupled with constant attack from the Ing, destroyed many of them. The Luminoth responded with the Dark Sentinel Crystal. Sheathed in dark energy, it is more resistant to the atmosphere of the Ing homeworld - and the attacks of its denizens.[2]
