The '''Parasite Queen''' is the first boss of ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', found in the [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]] of [[Frigate Orpheon]]. It is a [[Parasite]] mutated through [[Space Pirate]] experimentation. When [[Samus Aran]] enters the Reactor Core, the Parasite Queen appears inside a blue, seemingly impenetrable barrier.

==Known Specimens==
The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind. It is one of three known specimens, all found on Frigate Orpheon. The other two, however, are dead. Parasite Queens come about as the result of unknown methods of mutating a [[Parasite]] with [[Phazon]], [[Phazon Corruption|corrupting]] the creature.

[[File:Parasite Queen mp1 Screenshot.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Samus Aran|Samus]] facing off against the Parasite Queen]]
The Parasite Queen boss battle, like many early battles, is a relatively easy, one-stage battle. To defeat the Parasite Queen, Samus must shoot the [[Power Beam]] or [[Missile]] at it while an open section of its shield is revealed. To attack, the Parasite queen launches acid from fluid sacs<ref name="Dead Queen mouth" /> located around its mouth. The acid it shoots is corrosive enough to damage Samus's [[Varia Suit]], meaning it is likely more powerful than [[Flaahgra|Flaahgra's]] toxic water found throughout [[Chozo Ruins]].
 
Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area. [[Lock-On Orbiting]] is useful to catch up with the spinning shield or to catch it coming from the other side. Unlike many bosses, Parasite Queen's entire body is vulnerable to attack.

===Other Specimens===
[[file:Parasite Queen mp1 Screenshot 01.png|thumb|left|250px|A dead Parasite Queen impaling a Space Pirate]]
The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind. It is one of six known specimens, four of which are found on Frigate Orpheon and two found in [[Eastern SkyTown]], [[Elysia]]. The specimens on ''Orpheon'', however, located in the [[Emergency Evacuation Area]], [[Biohazard Containment (Frigate Orpheon)|Biohazard Containment]], and [[Biotech Research Area 1 (Frigate Orpheon)|Biotech Research Area 1]], are dead and hibernating, respectively. The specimen in hibernation breaks out of its containment while Samus is escaping Frigate Orpheon, but is killed in a powerful explosion.

The Parasite Queen is the first boss of Metroid Prime, found in the Reactor Core of Frigate Orpheon. It is a Parasite mutated through Space Pirate experimentation. When Samus Aran enters the Reactor Core, the Parasite Queen appears inside a blue, seemingly impenetrable barrier.

Morphology[edit | edit source]

Artwork of a Parasite Queen

Parasite Queens are the result of a Space Pirate bioengineering program. They possess large muscle structures around their massive jaws, which also contain fluid sacs filled with acid.[1] These fluid sacs enlarge considerably after exposure to Phazon, leading to an increase in production of corrosive bile.[2] Their tail sections end in a large, mouth-like orifice likely used to birth offspring, which survive their mother's acidic embryonic fluid by means of a tough exoskeleton.[3] A Parasite Queen's primary legs possess galvanized tips, allowing it to penetrate a variety of alloys.[4]

Known Specimens[edit | edit source]

Boss[edit | edit source]

Samus facing off against the Parasite Queen

The Parasite Queen boss battle, like many early battles, is a relatively easy, one-stage battle. To defeat the Parasite Queen, Samus must shoot the Power Beam or Missile at it while an open section of its shield is revealed. To attack, the Parasite queen launches acid from fluid sacs[1] located around its mouth. The acid it shoots is corrosive enough to damage Samus's Varia Suit, meaning it is likely more powerful than Flaahgra's toxic water found throughout Chozo Ruins.

Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area. Lock-On Orbiting is useful to catch up with the spinning shield or to catch it coming from the other side. Unlike many bosses, Parasite Queen's entire body is vulnerable to attack.

Other Specimens[edit | edit source]

A dead Parasite Queen impaling a Space Pirate

The Parasite Queen is not one of a kind. It is one of six known specimens, four of which are found on Frigate Orpheon and two found in Eastern SkyTown, Elysia. The specimens on Orpheon, however, located in the Emergency Evacuation Area, Biohazard Containment, and Biotech Research Area 1, are dead and hibernating, respectively. The specimen in hibernation breaks out of its containment while Samus is escaping Frigate Orpheon, but is killed in a powerful explosion.

Two other dead Queens appear in Xenoresearch Lift A within the Space Pirates' labs in Eastern SkyTown, dead from experiments and the like.[5][6] Parasite Queens come about as the result of unknown methods of mutating a Parasite with Phazon, corrupting the creature.

Trophy Info[edit | edit source]

Parasite Queen Trophy

This trophy is in need of an Image.

Space Pirates performed many experiments using Phazon as a means to artificially enhance physical strength. The Parasite Queens are the result of those experiments on one small life-form. This Parasite Queen lived in a nuclear reactor and fired destructive beams at Samus from its mouth. The barrier that spun around the queen reflected its and Samus's attacks.[15]
How to Obtain: Randomly Obtained
