Dark Bloggs are aquatic creatures possessed and transformed into Darklings by the Ing. Dark Bloggs are more vicious than normal Bloggs due to aggressive Ing controlling them.
The Dark Bloggs will be defeated in a single shot with a charged light energy attack to their mouth.
Description[]
Dark Bloggs are similar in appearance to their regular counterparts except that they possess a darker color scheme characteristic of Darklings. They also have several spike-like protrusions sprouting from the back of their heads that appear similar to those of the Dark Pirate Trooper, a trait likely a result of Warrior Ing possession.
Dark Bloggs only appear in one room, where they attack Samus viciously upon entering their domain. Within a return visit to the Training Chamber after obtaining the Gravity Boost, three of the present Blogglings become attacked by Black fog (via cutscene), where the latter instantly possess the three and matures them to a possessed adult form. If Sequence Breaking is used to skip the battle with the two Adult Blogg in the room, the Black Fog will be able to possess the two present Blogg, turning them into Dark Blogg.
Logbook entry[]
Dark Blogg
Morphology: Dark Blogg
Darkling-possessed aquatic predator. Symbiote unable to harness creature's sonic blast. Relies on close-combat attacks in battle. Target weak spot in mouth to do damage.
Dark Blogg somehow lose their sonic blast ability: something about their minds makes them difficult for darklings to fully control. They rely solely on their deadly maws for attack: in most cases they are more than adequate. Target the weak spot inside its mouth to defeat the Dark Blogg with ease.
Trivia[]
- The Logbook scan mentions a Dark Blogg is unable to harness its sonic blast attack. It should be noted that the only Blogg that actually uses its sonic blast attack is the Alpha Blogg. The reason this is stated is because the Dark Blogg's Logbook entry is taken directly from the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, in which during development, a normal Blogg was stated to be able to use a sonic blast during battle.
- Blogglings taken over by Ing will not become Dark Blogglings, but instead rapidly mature to the Dark Blogg stage.
- When defeating a Dark Blogg, its body may remain intact and float limplessly up to the surface where it will vanish afterwards. This alternate death animation shares some resemblances to many real world fish species.
