War Wasp

War Wasps are airborne insects first introduced in Metroid Prime. They rarely stray far away from its hive while pursuing immediate threat and will often attack without any regard for its survival. Its stinger injects fast working toxins which can incapacitate most small organisms.

Echoes War Wasps
War Wasps reappear in Echoes but are much different than their Prime counterparts. These types of Wasps can shoot weak energy blasts from their stinger; this is most likely making up for the absences of the Barbed War Wasp, which are not present in Echoes.

Dark War Wasps
Dark War Wasps are War Wasps that have been possessed by young Ings eagar to join the war effort on Aether. The Ings often graduate to the control of larger and deadlier creatures if they prove their mettle in the War Wasp. Like the normal versions, the dark versions can also shoot weak energy blasts from their stinger.
