Desbrachian

Desbrachian are creatures found in the Bottle Ship in Metroid: Other M.

Description

Desbrachian appear as semi-ovular obstacles that when scanned say you need to use a Power Bomb. If Samus tries to use any beam or missile, it will just bounce off. Once a Power Bomb is laid, it's massive thermonuclear explosion is the only thing powerful to awaken it from it's dormant state. It drops to the floor and begins to attack Samus.

Battle

Up awakening, all the exits in the room lock and the Desbrachian beings attacking Samus using a multitude of swiping arm attacks. It can also jump in the air and land on Samus causing damage. It can grab Samus initiating a cutscene in which it slams her into the floor causing heavy damage. It can move around at high speeds making it hard to hit. If Samus uses a Power Bomb to try and incinerate it, it will simply retreat into it's cocoon and wait for the explosion to dissipate. It will sometimes try to ram Samus. Rarely, when it takes too much damage, it will retreat into its impenetrable cocoon and regain health, while in this form, it must be forcibly reawakened by another Power Bomb. Eventually, it will go down and Samus can run up and perform a Lethal Strike to end it quickly. Desbrachian can be very challenging foes as most of there attacks can wipe out an entire Energy Tank even on Normal mode and when Samus is equipped with the Gravity Feature.
