Alpha Sandigger

The Alpha Sandigger was the alpha male of a Sandigger pack, with larger jaws and longer body length. It shares most of the physical characteristics, weaknesses, and abilities that its smaller counterparts can use, and does not seem to possess any unique abilities.

One resided in Aether's Agon Temple, but Samus Aran battles it when attempting to reach the energy controller. The battle is not a lengthy one though, as an Ing with Samus' Morph Ball Bombs ability possesses it less than thirty seconds into the battle, becoming the more powerful Bomb Guardian. Both the Sandigger and the Ing possessing it are killed by Samus, returning her the use of her Morph Ball Bombs.

Battle Tactics
The Alpha Sandigger is quite one of the simplest and easiest bosses in the game, serving as just an intro to the Bomb Guardian. Is actually the same strategy as a normal sandigger, but bigger and maybe faster. After a small quantity of shots, the Alpha Sandigger gets possessed by an Ing, turning to the Bomb Guardian, increasing the difficulty.
