An Emperor Brug[1] is an insectoid creature seen in Metroid: Other M. It is the leader of a swarm of Brugs.
Description[]
The Emperor Brug resembles its smaller Brug subordinates, but with a red color and six green eyes. Its back is colored white like a cornea with a seemingly functional optical organ in the center.
On the BOTTLE SHIP, an Emperor Brug was seen on the ceiling watching over 07th Platoon and Samus Aran. After Lyle killed a Brug, hundreds of them began crawling out of the walls, and grouped around the Emperor Brug to take the form of a Brug Mass with the Emperor Brug acting as the creature's eye. Striking the Emperor Brug's eye with a Charge Beam, Missile, or Overblast aggravated it into lashing out, allowing the Federation troopers to freeze its limbs and lead to its defeat.
After destabilizing the Brug Mass, the Emperor Brug popped out of the body and was vulnerable to Samus's fire. The Emperor Brug has its own health bar and is relatively easy to kill; ten Power Beam shots, two Charge Beam blasts or a Missile will put an end to it. If Samus took too long to kill it, the Emperor would re-attach itself to the remaining Brugs and repeat the last phase of the boss battle. When it does so, the Emperor Brug's own health bar would restore back to full energy.
Trivia[]
- Its head bears a strong resemblance to Crocomire.
