Talk:Metroid Husk

Number of husks present in Fusion
Greetings everyone, there is currently a small conflict of edits involving the relevance of the husks present in Fusion. The main issue is the relevance on the fact that all husks left behind by the Omega in Fusion are Larva Metroid membranes. An additional, but negligible issue, is the number of husks found and whether they match the number of metamorphosis a Metroid would theoritically undergo from its Infant form all the way to the Omega stage.

The edit before mine states that the Larva Metroid husks in Fusion are potentially the result of "limited aesthetic assets (since unique husks for stages other than Larva and Gamma would not be designed until Samus Returns)". I argue this is far from the case considering that Metroid II already had two unique husks: the larva membrane and the Gamma Metroid body with its back torn open. I'd also like to point out that Adam mentions in the same game moments earlier the existence of rapid growth techniques that can make an Infant grow rapidly into an Omega. These, along with the fact that a giant Metroid larva was featured in the previous game, Super Metroid, leads to a reasonable assumption that the shape of the Metroid husks in Fusion is actually intentional and not the result of limited aesthetic assets.

Concerning the number of Metroid husks, my last edit removed the focused relevance on the number of husks and instead simply mentions that there are five Larva membranes. I did, however, slightly expand on the main article that Samus Returns retcons the number of husks produced, regardless of how distinct or similar the prior form was (for instance, the Alpha and Gamma are both "insects", yet a husk is shed in between them). Thus, because of this, it is not implausible to think that a husk would also be shed between the infant and larva stage, despite their extreme similarities in physiology.

Feel free to discuss further on the matter before any additional edits are made. Latinlingo (talk) 01:39, May 4, 2018 (UTC)
