Dark Phlogus

The Dark Phlogus is a creature located in Dark Torvus Bog on Dark Aether. They are only found in the Dark Forgotten Bridge and the Putrid Alcove. It is found in the Dark Water in the area and opens and closes. When open, it can be shot, and when that is done, it will flip over and create a light energy shield. When flipped over it can be used as a platform, but it will return to the upright position in time.

It is very similar to the Puddle Spore and Spore Spawn.

Logbook entry
{{Infobox Logbook
 * game = Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
 * text = The Phlogus waits patiently as it floats in murky waters, searching for a meal. When the seismic sensors in its epidermis are triggered, it springs open rapidly to attack. Phlogi can fire a spray of venom to immobilize their pray. A centeral nervous system is exposed when it opens its mouth to attack: damage this to stun the Phlogus for a time.

Trivia

 * Intrestingly, there is no Light Aether version of a Dark Phlogus.
