Mulcalah

Arachnus-X is the first boss Samus faces aboard the Biologic Space Laboratories research station in Metroid Fusion. It is an Arachnus taken over by the X Parasite.

Arachnus-X is located in a large room on the Main Deck. It attacks Samus by spitting flames along the floor and rolling down them or by using its "Sonic Wave" attack. To dodge the flames, Samus must hold onto the ledges on either side of the room and wait for them to go out. If Arachnus-X hits the wall whilst rolling and she is hanging on, Samus will be knocked off and fall into the creature. However, the "Sonic Wave" can be avoided by hanging onto a wall. To defeat the creature, Samus can either shoot it with her Power Beam or fire Missiles at the front part of the creature's body, where its shell does not cover its skin. Once Arachnus-X turns into a Core-X, it will send out a few Yellow and Green X. Once Samus defeats the Core-X, she regains her Morph Ball ability.
