Guardian

For the boss creatures in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, see: Guardian (Boss)

A Guardian is a creature found in Metroid Prime Hunters. They were created by the Alimbics to guard important areas. They can use one weapon and that differs from Guardian to Guardian. These include the Power Beam and the Volt Driver. Like the other Hunters, if you shoot one in the head it will take more damage than from one elsewhere. They are often found in rooms with Alimbic Artifacts in them.

Guardians were kept in stasis at the Stasis Bunker in the Vesper Defense Outpost. Other notable occurrences are a Guardian corpse jamming a door. First-person cut-scenes depict them with a fisheye lens.
