Kanden

A lab experiment gone wrong, Kanden is one of the Bounty Hunters who appears in Metroid Prime Hunters. He's the Jolteon of the metroid series

Biography
Kanden was a science project, an experiment to create a so-called supersoldier. A soldier that could kill and hunt anything, and would be indestructible. However, Kanden's mind was still no more than a mere Enoema's, and therefore his brain could not withstand the complicated neural combat encoding sequences. This completely transformed his mind, leaving him as a ferocious, unbelievably powerful and dangerously unpredictable supersoldier. Kanden escaped the research lab, killing the scientists that created him, and destroying their laboratory. Kanden then took great advantage of his strength, durability, and near-immortality by trying his hand at becoming a Bounty Hunter. Built with programming to hunt, fight, and destroy, he can be the ultimate super-soldier. When Kanden receives word of a powerful super-weapon in the Alimbic Cluster, Kanden sees a great advantage that he can grasp in his superhuman hands.

Gameplay
Kanden performs the same role as all other Hunters in single player-that is to fight Samus and rid her of whatever treasure she may have. Upon defeat, Kanden will take off Samus' Octoliths, and then Samus must defeat him again in order to regain the crystals.

Kanden's alternate form is the Stinglarva, which isn't much different than Samus' own Morphball other than in shape and weapon. Kanden forms into a small, larva type being and can fire his stinger, which acts as a homing missile, tracking its nearest enemy. Like with Morph Ball Bombs, by maneuvering the Stinglarva over it's own projectile's explosion, it can jump. This jump is much higher than a Morph Ball Bomb jump.

Kanden's Affinity Weapon, the Volt Driver, is capable of hindering the viewscreen of enemies with a charged shot, and in normal fire works much like a slower firing Power Beam (the fire rate is still high) with greatly enhanced damage and a significant boost in projectile velocity. He has a large chest making him easy to attack but has a small head which gives your foe a hard time getting a head shot. Kanden is infrequently used in Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Trivia
Kanden also appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
