In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Splinters are large, aggressive, insect-like creatures found on Aether. They hide in cocoons and will attack any creatures that approach. Even if one is killed inside the cocoon, the entire swarm will still attack.[1] Samus encounters them in the Temple Grounds and in the Great Temple. However, in the Great Temple, they are quickly possessed before she can battle them.[2]

When it isn't hunting, a Splinter will secrete a protective cocoon around itself and enter a state of hibernation. Localized seismic disturbances will awaken the Splinter, triggering a state of blood frenzy in the process. While in this state, a Splinter emits pheromones that trigger frenzy in all nearby Splinters. Disturbing a pack of sleeping Splinters is not advisable." — Logbook "Splinter" (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
