Hunter Metroid

Hunter Metroids are adult Tallon Metroids. First appearing in the Phendrana Drifts area of Tallon IV, they have become more efficient at energy draining than younger Tallon Metroids, having developed an energy-siphoning tentacle that enables them to attack from a distance, increasing their threat level. This new tentacle also prevents Samus's Bombs from affecting them. The disadvantage to this tentacle is that Samus can still attack the Metroid while it's draining her energy. As with most forms of Metroids, the Ice Beam is very effective against Hunter Metroids.
