The Ing have a variety of dangerous abilities. One of the most dangerous is their ability to possess creatures.

A shared weakness amongst the Ing is light, which the Luminoth exploited with the [[Light Beam]].<ref>{{cite|Our studies of the Ing revealed the source of their attacks as dark energy. We built weapons to use this energy, thinking it could overload energy targets and eliminate them. We soon learned our error, as the Dark Beam was not of great effect on the Ing.

This weapon would dispatch the Ing with terrible efficiency.|Luminoth Lore|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> | A shared weakness amongst the Ing is light, which the Luminoth exploited with the [[Light Beam]].<ref>{{cite|Our studies of the Ing revealed the source of their attacks as dark energy.
