Sylux is a blue-suited Bounty Hunter from the Metroid Prime series. It's gender is unknown. It is skilled at stealth and tracking, as well as a formidable marksman. Not much is known about Sylux, as it has only appeared twice: once in Metroid Prime Hunters and a brief possible appearance in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. What is apparent is that it has an unexplained hatred for Samus Aran and the Galactic Federation. A cinematic scene shows him attacking a Federation Ship on a snowy planet, presumably his own world.

Once the Alimbic Cluster sends out its cryptic message, Sylux follows Samus with a goal of attaining the power for its own. Samus first meets Sylux on the Vesper Defense Outpost.

Equipment

Shock Coil

Main article: Shock Coil

Sylux is fitted with the Shock Coil weapon, which shoots a small, continuous beam of blue electricity. If this connects with the opponent, it slowly begins to drain the opponent's health, and as the beam is connected, the rate of the drainage will increase. If Sylux is the one using this weapon (which is not always the case since it is obtainable in the story and multiplayer mode) the drained health returns to Sylux, adding to its own.

Lockjaw

The Lock Jaw

Sylux's alternate form is known as the "Lockjaw." It is similar to, but faster than, the morph ball. The Lock Jaw can leave a maximum of three bombs behind it. However, these bombs will not detonate unless touched by an opponent. Instead, if the bombs are close together, a trip wire will connect the first two and will link all three, and home in on an opponent.

Sylux and Plot

File:Sylux 02.png

In the story, after the battle moves to the center of the stage, the ceiling will be removed and a spacecraft with a similar design to Sylux will appear. This is the Delano 7, Sylux's vehicle of choice, an opposition to Samus's gunship. This craft, or one similar, can be seen following Samus after the 100% ending in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This small scene suggests that the end of the Prime series has not yet been reached. If the ship was not the Delano 7, then it was most likely Dark Samus's.
