Template:Enemy-infobox Scarabs are nearly negligible creatures native to Tallon IV. They tend to swarm in small rooms and narrow hallways. They are always found moving about in a large mass. If they sense a hostile creature is near, they block the creature's path by embedding themselves onto walls, ceilings and floors.[1] If the creature advances near embedded scarabs, they will explode violently. These creatures exhibit swarm behavior and swarm intelligence, acting as one although they are physically separated. Scarabs are not afraid of death, finding strength in numbers they are able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the swarm.[1] Individually, these creatures are nearly insignificant, showing a low-threat level in the radar and causing minimal damage to Samus, however in large groups they have no trouble exploding their way through an Energy Tank's worth of damage.

- Curiously, Scarabs have the same strange marking on their back resembling Chozo markings. The answer to this could somehow reside with the fact that they appear mostly in Chozo Ruins
