They are capable of draining their prey's energy at a distance with their energy siphon tentacle; if angered they will ram their prey.^[1] Samus encounters Hunter Metroids in the lower levels of the Phazon Mines. In the PAL/Trilogy versions of Metroid Prime, a single Hunter Metroid appears in Phendrana Drifts' Frost Cave. Metroid Prime is also capable of spawning them in its core form.

Logbook

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime: Hunter Metroid

As Metroids develop, they become more efficient predators. An energy-draining tentacle allows them to attack at a distance. Quick to anger, a Hunter Metroid will charge troublesome prey and attempt to ram them into submission. Cold-based attacks are still quite effective against these creatures.^[1]
