Cretaphid v1

The first version of the Cretaphid is of cylindrical form, resembling a tower. It was created using advanced Alimbic cybernetics, with its main role being to protect the Alimbic races most sacred possessions. It is seen in Metroid Prime Hunters protecting the first Octolith.

It is located in the Celestial Archives. Its main body is covered in small weak points, that rotate, which can only be destroyed when they are blue in colour.

When these are destroyed, the main being of the Cretaphid emerges and becomes vulnurable. After a short period of time, the Cretaphid reunites with its body and the process begins again until it is destroyed. Its main armament consists of several precision chemical lasers.
