'''Gandrayda''' is a shape-shifting humanoid that assists {{Samus}} in {{mp3}}. She is a [[Bounty Hunter|hunter]] that treats her work more like a hobby, but is potentially helpful on [[Norion]]. She disguises herself as a [[Space Pirate Militia|Space Pirate]] and helps Samus get rid of other other Pirates. With this, she allows Samus to pass forward to complete the task of reactivating a generator, which was deactivated by [[Space Pirate]]s.

Gandrayda is hired along with the other bounty hunters by the [[Galactic Federation]] to combat the [[Phazon]] virus infecting their [[Aurora Unit]]s. When the [[Space Pirate]]s launch an attack on [[Norion]], Gandrayda assists Samus in restoring power to three generators needed to active the planetary defense system and destroy an incoming [[Leviathan]]. She disguises herself as a [[Space Pirate Militia|Space Pirate]] and helps Samus eliminate other Pirates. With this, she allows Samus to pass forward to complete the task of reactivating a generator, which was deactivated by Space Pirates. After the attack by [[Dark Samus]], she gained [[Phazon]] generating abilities like the other hunters. The Galactic Federation created a [[Phazon Enhancement Device|PED device]] for her, which she wears around her neck. She was then sent to attempt to locate the [[Pirate Homeworld]].
 
After traveling to the Homeworld's Research Facility and becoming corrupted by Phazon, Gandrayda becomes a major Space Pirate officer. She later disguises herself as a [[Galactic Federation Marine|Federation Marine]] in an attempt to outwit and destroy Samus. This ploy fails, however, as Samus quickly detects the attempted surprise attack and engages in combat with Gandrayda.
 
After a long and difficult battle, Samus defeats Gandrayda. Lying on the ground in agony, Gandrayda uncontrollably shapeshifts into a Space Pirate, Ghor, Rundas, and Samus before being assimilated by Dark Samus. She is the last of Samus's comrades to die.

==Boss Strategy==
After traveling to the [[Space Pirate Homeworld|Pirate Homeworld's]] Research Facility and becoming corrupted by [[Phazon]], Gandrayda disguises herself as a [[Galactic Federation Marine|Federation Marine]] in an attempt to outwit and destroy Samus. This ploy fails, however, as Samus quickly sighted the attempted "surprise-attack" and engaged in combat and defeating Gandrayda.
Gandrayda is quite agile, often running and flipping around the room, making it difficult for Samus to harm her. She can throw homing energy blades, create a shockwave in Samus's direction, and even claw and hit Samus if close enough. In this latter case, Samus must physically shake her off. Worthy of note is that hitting her with a charged [[Beam]] shot will knock her onto the ground momentarily. As Gandrayda takes damage, she puts her shapeshifting abilities to use, becoming a [[Berserker Knight]], an [[Aerotrooper]], and a [[Swarmbot]]. She utilizes Phazon-based variants of their attacks and shares their respective weaknesses.
 
Eventually, she opens a portion of the roof, exposing the outer portion of the battlefield to [[acid rain]]. She then uses the same attacks from before, with the additional ability to take the forms of [[Rundas]], [[Ghor]], and when damaged enough, [[Varia Suit]] Samus, which enables her to use the [[Boost Ball]]. Like Rundas and Ghor before her, she soon enters [[Hypermode]], which increases her speed and attack power, and she can become invisible.
