|content=''Metroids exposed to the Dark Aetherian atmosphere displayed significant changes to their physiology and behaviorial patterns. Exposure resulted in altered cutaneous pigmentation, solidified carapace with superficial dermal striation, emergence of multiple luminescent ocular organs, and two additional cuspidate teeth. Advanced physical durability was observed, as well as more instinctual and aggresive behavioral tendencies. Subsequently nocturnal, Dark Metroid developed a fatally acute sensitivity to solar light. All attempts to recreate this atmospheric transformation have met with utter failure. Test specimens yield a 100% mortality rate. Experiments rarely live more than a few hours after artificial transformation is achieved. Of these rare instances, specimens require complete artificial sustainment. No sentient behavior has been observed in any instances. Failure attributed to unknown variables.''<ref>{{Cite web| url= http://frogskull.blogspot.com/2008/02/metroid-prime-3-corruption-art.html| title= Frog Skull: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Art| site= Frog Skull}}</ref> | |||

|content=''Side by side observation of metroids native to different planets show subtle variations in dietary cycles, energy consumption abilities, and aggressive tendencies. Theoritical analysis suggests that the Metroid's environmental versatility is due in part to it's adaptness to survive in differing atmospheric conditions, marked changes in gravitational influence, and varying levels of gamma type radiation. Specimens native to SR-388 still display most consistent growth and energy consumption maturation.''<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://frogskull.blogspot.com/2008/02/metroid-prime-3-corruption-art.html| title= Frog Skull: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Art| site= Frog Skull}}</ref> | |||

|content=''Exposure of unhatched metroids to alien sustentative chemicals and levels of radiation has been insightful as to the adaptability and survivability of the organism, even at this early latent state. Specimens that survive have been observed with greater scrutiny as to their cumulative behavioral augmentations, as well as any affect exposure has to their ability to drain life energy.''<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |url= http://frogskull.blogspot.com/2008/02/metroid-prime-3-corruption-art.html| title= Frog Skull: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Art| site= Frog Skull}}</ref> | |||

|content=''Metroids derive from a parthenogenetic birthing process. Amniotic egg fluid provides both nutrients and phsyical protection of the developing larva. Once hatched, this fluid experiences rapid desiccation, hardening completely in several seconds. Hatched Metroid larva still retain a full coelenterate body structure. Larval tentacles harden to become cuspidate teeth in adults. Energy draining abilities in this form are primitive, but still very fatal.''<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://frogskull.blogspot.com/2008/02/metroid-prime-3-corruption-art.html| title= Frog Skull: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Art| site= Frog Skull}}</ref> | |||
