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. | Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area.

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. | |||
Two other dead Queens appear in [[Xenoresearch Lift A]] within the Space Pirates' labs in Eastern SkyTown, dead from experiments and the like.<ref name="Dead Queen 4"/><ref name="Dead Queen 5"/> Parasite Queens come about as the result of unknown methods of mutating a [[Parasite]] with [[Phazon]], [[Phazon Corruption|corrupting]] the creature. | |||
