Splinter: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', '''Splinters''' are large, aggressive, insect-like creatures found on [[Aether]]. They hide in [[Splinter Cocoon|cocoons]] and will attack any creatures that approach. Even if one is killed inside the cocoon, the entire swarm will still attack.<ref>{{cite|Destroying a cocoon will kill the Splinter inside: when this occurs, the dying Splinter will emit a shriek that will alert all nearby Splinters in hibernation. This will drive them into battle frenzy as a defense mechanism.|Logbook|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref> [[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters them in the [[Temple Grounds]] and in the [[Great Temple]]. However, in the Great Temple, they are quickly [[Darkling|possessed]] before she can battle them.<ref name=splinter>{{cite|Splinters are aggressive and dangerous in numbers. Their light armor is no match for your weapons, however. 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|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref>
