Spore Spawn: Difference between revisions

The '''Spore Spawn''' is a mini-boss that appears in [[Brinstar]] in ''[[Super Metroid]]''. This aggressive plant was genetically engineered by [[Space Pirate]]s,<ref name="Manual" /> likely to guard Brinstar from the [[Galactic Federation|Federation]]. Spore Spawn sits in a very large room, attached by thorny vines of some sort to the wall behind it. Unlike most plant-enemies, Spore Spawn is highly mobile, able to zoom across the large room it sits in. The plant creature has an impenetrable shell, but it occasionally stops moving and reveals it's sensitive core.<ref name="Manual" />

Spore Spawn seems highly aggressive or hungry, as it attacks Samus as she jumps up into its room. Spore Spawn slowly moves around the room, shaking down spores that damage [[Samus Aran|Samus]] if she touches them. After a while, Spore Spawn will cease movement and open its weak inner core; Samus cannot trigger this pause. At this vulnerable point, Samus can fire her [[Power Beam]] or [[Missile]]s at its vulnerable core before it closes up again.
