Metroid Hatchers are Phazon-mutated Metroids that appear as mini bosses in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. There are three of these in the game, but the one on Norion is optional. Samus can encounter the one on Norion once she is equipped with the Plasma Beam. Their are look like a floating head with four tentacles hanging down. Its main form of attack is to use its tentacles to strike a foe, but if forced to retract its tentacles, it will spawn Phazon Metroids and try to collide with the foe. At this time, its inner mouth is vulnerable to attack. If the mouth is damaged enough, the tenatcles can be ripped off. If all tentacles are ripped away, The Metroid Hatcher will explode. Alternativly, using the Nova Beam with the X-Ray Visor will kill it in one shot. Metroid Hatchers are also very easily defeated with Samus's Screw Attack. The Screw Attack easily stuns the creatures' tentacles and can also rip through their spawned Phazon Metroids. Metroid Hatchers are one of few bosses that are fought multiple times as boss battles. The X-Ray Visor/Nova Beam combo, however, renders most very easily defeated.
