Emperor Ing Body

The body of the Emperor Ing; the ruler of the Ing horde. It was native to the planet of Phaaze, before it was chosen to protect a Leviathan. It was corrupted by the Phazon within it, and the Leviathan impacted Aether. The Leviathan impact caused Aether to split into two dimensions (with the Leviathan and all of its Phazon landing in the new, dark dimension: Dark Aether). The Ing eventually began a war with the inhabitants if the light dimension: the Luminoth, possibly to defend the core of the Leviathan. The Emperor Ing is the most mutated form of Ing. Originally it would have been nothing more than an Inglet. It is likely that this Inglet was a creature from Phaaze which was also mutated by the atmosphere of Dark Aether. The Emperor Ing's body is the first of many forms of the Emperor Ing, which resembles a giant Inglet.
