Samus encounters Hunter Ing in multiple areas throughout Dark Aether, usually in pairs. While they do share their weakness to the Light Beam with other Ing, they are easily capable of dodging it. Samus can target them with the Dark Visor while they are phased, but she is incapable of damaging them. Hunter Ing will also dodge any charged attack. They are highly susceptible to Super Crystals.

Cunning and relentless, the Hunter Ing will seize their prey or die." — Logbook "Hunter Ing" (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
