Helios is the guardian of [[Elysia]]'s [[Leviathan]]. This mechanoid looks like a small round sphere with four tentacle-arm like appendages. He is the prime robot of a group of Swarmbots, also inhabiting the Leviathan. Helios has seven forms. All but the final form are invulnerable, and he only takes this form after being hit in his other forms many times.

'''Helios''' is the guardian of [[Elysia|Elysia's]] [[Leviathan]]. This machine looks like a small round sphere with four tentacle-arm like appendages. It is the prime robot of a group of [[Swarmbot]]s, also inhabiting the Leviathan. Helios has seven forms. All but the final form are invulnerable, and it only takes this form after being stunned in any of its other forms many times.


==Abilities==
The first form it appears in is its neutral form. It is surrounded by a large sphere of Swarmbots acting as a shield. It will float in the middle of the arena. He may change into any of these:


== Battle tactics ==
Bowling Ball: After arranging the Swarmbots into a large sphere, it will fall to the ground and try to roll toward {{samus}}, who can get out of the way and fire at the core in between the Swarmbots.

Disc: It will arrange the Swarmbots into a large disc which has five weak points, which must be shot all at once with the [[Seeker Missile]]s. If it remains in this form for an extended period of time, the disc will increase in size, making it harder to dodge. The disc can also charge up and fire a large beam of [[Phazon]].

Beam Array: He will arrange the Swarmbots into many small groups that will in turn charge up and fire at Samus. The glowing groups can be destroyed before they fire.

Tornado: He will arrange the Swarmbots into a large tornado with him at the base and start spinning toward Samus, sucking her towards it to deal contact damage. Morph Ball Bombs and the Hyper Ball can strike this form.

Humanoid: Helios will split the Swarmbots into four groups which will become "arms" and "legs". These will sometimes hurl giant orbs (that create a small, horizontal explosion) at Samus. The legs also can make a powerful shockwave. The joints at which the limbs are connected can only be damaged when the corresponding limb is preparing to attack; once Samus destroys each of these joints, Helios will collapse.

Exposed: Once he's been hit enough in the previous forms, he will open his core and dispel his Swarmbot backup. His mechanical arms will extend blades and he will charge repeatedly at Samus, who must go into Hyper Mode and fire her Hyper Beam into the front of his core to deal damage to the mechanoid.


He leaves the Hyper Missile upgrade behind after his demise.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "Helios's exterior armor is well shielded, but still vulnerable to Beam weaponry. Inflicting enough damage will cause him to overheat and expose his Phazon-enhanced core. This core can be overloaded with Phazon-based energy. Destruction of the core unit should prove fatal, but is difficult to achieve. Target is the prime bot of a large group of Swarmbots, all of which have been energized by Phazon. Helios will use the Swarmbots for both offensive and defensive measures. Assuming different formations will allow for various forms of attack."
