Samus encounters the already-terminated Serris

Serris is a large serpentine creature kept in Sector 4 (AQA). It is capable of moving at a high rate of speed. Serris later became a host to the X, after Samus deactivated the Security Level 1 doors allowing them to spread across AQA. Adam gave Samus permission to terminate Serris. She later found Serris's corpse in the breeding chamber, shortly afterward, Samus battles the X mimic of Serris.

Samus can defeat Serris by hitting its head with Missiles or the Charge Beam. After it takes damage, Serris begins moving at an extreme rate of speed, preventing Samus from damaging it. Once Samus defeats it, she may absorb its Core-X and gain the Speed Booster.

Trivia

• Serpentine bosses are a common theme in the Metroid series, with most games featuring one.
• Aesthetically, due to their multiple eyes, sharp teeth and 'fins', Serris very closely resembles a Magmoor. However, while Magmoor are exclusively lava-based, Serris is water-based.
• It is theorized that Serris's ability to dramatically increase its speed is the reason for its Core-X holding the key to Samus's Speed Booster ability. This theme can be seen in several other bosses in Metroid Fusion; the boss having a variant of the ability to be recovered (this is comparable to the similar convention in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, in which Ing have possessed Samus's abilities and use them against her).
• Serris has a fan page
