Warrior Ing

Warrior Ing are the basic soldiers of the Ing Horde, appearing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. They are somewhat powerful, exercising fusion attacks, along with various kinetic offensives and dark energy-based laser blasts. At close range, their limbs serve as weapons. They can change into their gaseous form at will, in order to possess things (though Samus is invulnerable to this, as she carries the Energy Transfer Module). The Warrior Ing can also melt into the ground and slide across surfaces and up and down walls as a formless shadow. When these "shadows" are struck with light energy, their moving speed will dramatically increase. Warrior Ings, like several other types of Ing, feature a sphere containing a cluster of glowing red particles in its body, but unlike the other members, theirs resemble more to a compound eye (with the red particles being individual 'eye' units). These Warriors are quite vulnerable to light energy. When a large amount of Warrior Ing are found in a single room it most often contains a Sky Temple Key. Warrior Ing live on Dark Aether and when a Light Beacon or Light Crystal is shot with the Annihilator Beam, they will be drawn to the fatal environment.

Six Warrior Ing steal Samus' upgrades near the beginning of Metroid Prime 2 and use them against her in some shape or form: those that stole the Space Jump Boots and Boost Ball without possessing another creature are featured as bosses and have been slightly mutated by the items; the Jump Guardian and Boost Guardian. The other four Warrior Ing ultimately end up possessing creatures. They are all killed by Samus later on.

Trivia

 * The Warrior Ing were the first pure Ing that Samus encountered, and they were also the last: as Dark Aether was collapsing after collecting the last of Aether's planetary energy from the Sky Temple, several Warrior Ing attempted to stop her from reaching the only available portal.
