Slench

From Metroid Wiki


The Slench is type of security mechaniod that was designed by the Alimbics to protect important relics. It has the appearance of a giant eye, but is in fact mechanical. It is attached to the wall or ceiling by three tentacle-like synapses, which control the Energy Blasters. While on the wall, the main body of the Slench is surrounded by a forcefield, but the synapses are vulnerable. If each one is damaged enough, the Slench will go to its B form. The Slench will float around the room, firing shots at Samus and ramming her. The more damage the Slench takes, the faster it will move around the room. Different versions are vulnerable to certain weapons. Each Slench guards an Octolith.

Versions[edit | edit source]

Slench 1[edit | edit source]

The basic version of Slench, no special abilities.

Slench 2[edit | edit source]

Enhanced version, uses superheated magma as a weapon. This makes it vulnerable to the Judicator.

Slench 3[edit | edit source]

Even further enhanced, uses high voltage weaponry. This makes it vulnerable to the Battlehammer.

Slench 4[edit | edit source]

The most powerful version, is attached to the ceiling rather than the wall. It uses supercooled plasma, making it vulnerable to the Magmaul. In its B form, it will roll around in a figure eight pattern. It is invulnerable until it changes to the floating form.

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime Hunters: Slench 1A
Another member of the Alimbic defensive arsenal, this enormous cybernetic eyeball was engineered to protect sacred Alimbic relics. The Slench attaches itself to the biodefense chamber with three synapses which transfer power to Energy Blasters. Its primary weapons are the green venom torpedo and the deuterium laser.[1]
Logbook entry from Metroid Prime Hunters: Slench 1B
When aggravated, the Slench detaches from the wall to commence a hovering attack. analysis indicates its shield is inoperable during levitation.[2]
Logbook entry from Metroid Prime Hunters: Slench 2A
This revision of Alimbic cyber-defense technology features enhanced capabilities. The Slench attaches itself to the biodefense chamber with three synapses which transfer Superheated Magma to the Energy Blasters. Green venom torpedoes can be neutralized with the Arm Cannon.[3]
Logbook entry from Metroid Prime Hunters: Slench 2B
When aggravated, the Slench detaches from the wall to fire bursts of Superheated Magma while hovering. Analysis indicates its shield is inoperable during levitation.[4]
Logbook entry from Metroid Prime Hunters: Slench 3A
This improved model of the Slench utilizes three synapses to transfer High Voltage to the Energy Blasters, whose electromagnetic pulse can disrupt the Combat Visor. The synaptic fibers may be vulnerable to Heavy-Duty weaponry.[5]

Analysis indicates that although the shield is down, the improved exoskeleton on this model may allow it to charge at its prey.[6]
