Dark Tallon Metroids are Darkling-possessed Tallon Metroids that prove to be very important soldiers for the Ing Horde. When a pure Ing invades the body of a Tallon Metroid, the latter undergoes an extensive mutation to become a Dark Tallon Metroid. The smooth, transparent membrane is changed to a thick, ridged, carapace-like surface with a dark purple shade. This surface is vastly covered, in a disorganized manner, with multiple orange-glowing eyes, which come from the red particles belonging to the pure Ing. Interestingly, all but one of these ocular organs are half-closed, giving the Darkling an overall sickly appearance. Dark Tallon Metroids also possess an extra pair of fangs (for a total of six fangs), though they are smaller and less hook-shaped in comparison to the others.
