Metroid Prime is a Phazon mutated Metroid found in the Impact Crater on Tallon IV. It is highly adaptable, changing and adapting to its surroundings. It is armed with numerous weapons including versions of Samus's beam weapons that can fire sustained blasts. Many of its weapons apparently were conceived to be from the Space Pirates, but that story has since been replaced. It also has a Snare Beam which is a green light which traps Samus Aran and pulls her to itself.
Origin
When a Leviathan first impacted Tallon IV, it began to spread Phazon across the planet. For protection, it found a Metroid from an unknown source. Somehow, this Metroid absorbed the core and became it. This creature was prophesied by the Chozo as a Worm, that will destroy the planet.[1] The Artifact Temple was built around the Impact Crater to imprison the Metroid Prime, but they knew the prison would not hold it forever.[2] There is Space Pirate Data that has since been replaced that tell of the Space Pirates capturing the Metroid Prime, and then observing it.[3] The Metroid Prime assimilated many of their weapons, and they let it go out of fear they could not control it.[4] Newer entries simply say that they detect a massive energy source in the crater.[5]
Battle
Samus battles it in several chambers within the Impact Crater, and Metroid Prime becomes increasingly aggressive and uses more attacks the more Samus damages it. Metroid Prime's weakpoint, its head, is vulnerable to the Beam and Charge Combo it is currently using (which Samus can tell by the color of Metroid Prime is). An example would be if Metroid Prime is purple, he will be using and be affected by the Wave Beam, yellow for Power Beam, white for Ice Beam, and red for Plasma Beam. However it will shift the weapons in an attempt to avoid attacks. Sometimes Metroid Prime will try and ram into Samus and she will need to use her Morph Ball to escape. After Samus defeats Metroid Prime's exoskeleton, it falls down a long shaft. After Samus follows it, Metroid Prime's core essence attacks her.
While in its core form, Metroid Prime attacks with large shocks waves and is also capable of becomes invisible and spawning a variety of Metroids. None of Samus's normal weapons can damage Metroid Prime, though by standing in pools of Phazon it generates, Samus can power her Phazon Beam and use it to defeat Metroid Prime.
After Samus defeats Metroid Prime, it desperately reaches for her. Its grip was so strong on the Phazon in her Phazon Suit, that it ripped it from her. It managed to save itself by forming into this suit, becoming Dark Samus. The destruction of its previous form causes a massive explosion which destroys the Impact Crater. The action of taking Samus's Phazon Suit has inadvertently freed Samus from corruption.
Metroid Prime Pinball
Metroid Prime also appears on the Impact Crater table in Metroid Prime Pinball. In this game, Metroid Prime is battled in both its exo and core forms. It will attack Samus with an energy blast while Metroids occasionally appear while in its exo form. When in its core form, Metroid Prime can fire energy blasts and homing projectiles.
Abilities
The Metroid Prime is able to utilize unique abilities. Like most Metroids, the Metroid Prime can absorb energy in almost any form. The main ability at its disposal is its power to adapt and assimilate to increase its power. It used this power to develop an exoskeleton and assimilate various Space Pirate weapons, which increases its combat potential.[6] The Metroid Prime also is able to generate and feed off of Phazon. It generates Phazon at regular intervals, and is also able to control it to an extent. It will consume Phazon as an energy source, allowing for even greater strength, making it a self-sustaining organism, feeding only on what it generates itself.[6]. The physical form of the Metroid Prime can even change, as it did when it transformed into Dark Samus. When it generates Phazon, it can also simultaneously create various Metroids to aid it in battle. Few creatures, if any, have any of these abilities.
Dark Samus
- Main article: Dark Samus
The Metroid Prime transformed into Dark Samus after being defeated by Samus. In this form, it has all of the abilities of Samus, but more powerful. After its transformation, it is no longer refered to as the Metroid Prime. Dark Samus is responsible for the spread of Phazon into Federation space.

Trivia
- As Dark Samus is the Metroid Prime, the Metroid Prime is the main antagonist in the entire Metroid Prime Series.
- Husks of a creature almost identical to the Metroid Prime can be found in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the room before Dark Samus on Phaaze. The origin of these husks are unknown.

- ↑ "Many Chozo are gifted with the distant sight, and even more begin to learn it as our harmonization with the universe becomes more and more complete. We peer forwards, seeing prophecy in the ripples of the water, hearing rumors of coming days on the breath of the wind. Though we celebrate the distant sight, many of these visions are dark - the worst of the prophecies, and the most common, tells of the coming of the Worm. Born from parasites, nurtured in a poisoned womb, the Worm grows, devouring from within, until the world begins to rot. Not all prophecies come to pass, of course, but we cannot help but fear this dark portent." —Chozo Lore - Worm (Metroid Prime)
- ↑ "As the Great Poison reaches ever further into the planet, we Chozo begin to feel the gnawings of despair - before it is too late, we now make our last stand. We have begun to build a temple to contain this darkness; at its heart we will place a Cipher, a mystical lock powered by twelve Artifacts and filled with as much power as we Chozo can harness. We wonder, though - even when we are done, will it be too late? And will the power of the temple, and the Cipher itself, prove strong enough to hold back the poisonous tide that even now swells within the ground, threatening all life?" —Chozo Lore - Cipher (Metroid Prime)

The shield of strange energy that protects it is impermeable, and all attempts to tunnel past it have proved fruitless. Our continued futility in this matter is made all the more significant in light of recent life form readings we've discovered emanating from deep within the crater. Analysis of the readings indicates that a massive creature is gestating in there, absorbing enormous amounts or Phazon from the Phazon core at the heart of the impact crater. This discovery makes accessing the crater doubly important - not only will it open the door to the vast deposits of Phazon within, but it will also lead us to this creature, whatever it may be." —Space Pirate Data - Impact Crater (Metroid Prime)
