Much like the case on the [[Bottle Ship]], [[Biologic Space | Much like the case on the [[Bottle Ship]], [[Biologic Space Labs]] researchers had brought Skultera aboard [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|their research station]] orbiting [[SR388]]. These fish reside in the aquatic sector, [[Sector 4 (AQA)]]. They swim about in the water waiting for something to attack, as is their aggressive nature. If Samus defeats small Skulteras, the [[X Parasite|X]] that mimicked them may be able to reform elsewhere. Additionally, if two X containing Skultera {{wp|DNA}} combine, they can merge to a larger, much stronger version of Skulteras. | ||
These large Skulteras cannot be damaged by Samus's [[Power Beam]] alone. To defeat tham, Samus has to [[Charge Beam|charge a shot]] or fire [[Missile]]s at the creature.

*In nature and behavior, Skulteras heavily resemble [[Aether|Aether's]] [[Blogg]] family. | |||
*Skulteras are one of the few species that the [[Galactic Federation]] experimented on in [[Bottle Ship]] and again on the [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|B.S.L research station]], they could have some sort of meaning to the Federation as use as a weapon. Or simply the Federation wants to preserve the species, considering its planet had been destroyed. | |||
