(fixing some stuff. An SA-X, not a, and isn't Ridley-X vulnerable to Power Bombs?)
(that's wonderful that the guides pointed out the fact the giant plant boss is indeed a giant plant boss. there's no purpose for this)

==Description==
Nettori is a large plant-like boss and is the result of the plants from [[SR388]] being infected by the [[X Parasite]]s. The Nettori's huge amount of vines extending throughout a large portion of [[Sector 2]], and into a small area of the [[Main Deck]] caused the main power to go offline, as the vines were choking the activity of the Main Reactor. Once Samus restored the auxiliary power, she still had to find out what was causing the main generator to not function. After she entered a secret tunnel to a vine-choked [[Sector 2]], and even encountered an [[SA-X]] , she came upon Nettori deep within the sector.

Nettori is a large plant-like boss created by the [[X Parasite]]s. Nettori is the source of the heavy [[vegetation]] that extended throughout a large portion of [[Sector 2 (TRO)]] and into a small area of the [[Main Deck]]; the vines caused the main power to go offline by choking the components of the [[Central Reactor Core|Main Reactor]]. Once Samus restores the auxiliary power, she still has to find out what is causing the main generator to malfunction. After she enters a secret tunnel to a vine-choked Sector 2 and encounters an [[SA-X]], she comes upon Nettori deep within the sector.

==Battle==
===First Phase===
+
===First phase===
 
When Samus enters the room, she will see [[Samus Eater]]s and [[Samus Eater Bud|some small unbloomed buds]] growing on vines on the walls; on the right side of the room stands a large biomass that resembles a [[Torizo]] or [[Chozo Statue]] and is intertwined with vines—that is Nettori. At this point, it won't have any active role in the battle and is completely open to attack; during the first phase, it relies on the Samus Eaters to fight Samus.
   
 
The two Samus Eater Buds on the vines above Samus release clumps of pollen at regular intervals, which float down and will damage Samus on contact, knocking her into a water pit covered by one of the bloomed Samus Eaters; the pollen can be shot out of the air, however. The three Samus Eaters on the bottom will remain dormant until Samus falls into them, at which point they will start to drain her energy. If she falls in, panicking and repeatedly jumping won't help; the trick is to make one long jump to get out, since the pits are filled with water.
When Samus enters the room, she will see some plants that resemble [[Wikipedia:Rafflesia|Rafflesia flowers]], and to the right of the room there stands a large biomass that resembles a [[Torizo]] and is intertwined with vines-- that is Nettori. At this point it won't have any active role in the battle, and is completely open to attack. But during the first phase it relies on its flowers to fight Samus.
 
   
 
In the middle of all this, Samus is supposed to damage Nettori's main body. If she stays in the [[Morph Ball]] on the platforms, she will avoid all of the plant's attacks; however, this position does not present an advantageous way to attack. An unintentional flaw in the pollen's flight path allows Samus to crouch on the far left side of the raised platform, where she can constantly shoot [[Ice Missile]]s into Nettori's main body. The pollen will occasionally block the missiles, but Samus can simply keep firing. A rapid volley of Missiles will make short work of the first form of Nettori. Another way to defeat Nettori is to continuously lay [[Power Bomb]]s; these will not only damage Nettori, but also destroy any pollen, opening a path for a missile run.
The two unbloomed flowers at the ceiling release spores at regular intervals, which float down and will cause Samus damage on contact (they can be shot), knocking her into a water pit with one of the larger flowers. The three big flowers at the bottom will wait until Samus falls, at which point they will start to drain her energy. If she falls in, panicking and repeatedly jumping won't help; the trick is to make one long jump to make it up.
 
   
 
===Second phase===
In the middle of all this, Samus is supposed to damage Nettori's main body. If she stays in the [[Morph Ball]] on the lower platform, she usually won't get hit by anything. However, this position doesn't give any advantageous way to attack. An unintentional flaw in the pollen's flight path allows Samus to crouch on the far left side of the raised platform, constantly shooting missiles into the main body of the Nettori. The pollen will block the missiles occasionally, but Samus can still shoot them and keep damaging the boss; a rapid volley of Missiles will make short work of the first form of Nettori. Once she does enough damage, the front of the plant will crumble away and the Rafflesia-like flowers will begins spewing pollen. Another way to defeat Nettori is to continuously lay [[Power Bomb]]s; these will not only damage Nettori, but also destroy any pollen, opening a path for a [[Missile]] run.
 
  +
Once Samus does enough damage, the front part of Nettori will crumble away, the Samus Eater Pods on the vines will disappear, and the bloomed Samus Eaters will begin spewing pollen of their own. To avoid this, Samus must stand on the raised platform in the middle of the room.
   
 
Nettori will now use the [[Plasma Beam]] against Samus. If Samus is crouching, Nettori will shoot low; if Samus is standing or jumping, Nettori will shoot high. Samus can dodge the shots by jumping or crouching accordingly. Once Samus has fired enough Ice Missiles at Nettori, it will transform into a [[Core-X]], trying to ram her and shoot her with its acquired beam weapon (in this case, the Plasma Beam) as they normally do. Samus regains the powerful Plasma Beam upon its defeat.
===Second Phase===
 
   
  +
Upon Nettori's defeat, the vegetation withers away throughout the BSL station. If Samus exits and re-enters the room where she fought and defeated the Nettori, every plant within will have wilted and acquired a reddish-brown color.
Nettori will now use the Plasma Beam against Samus. The flowers above will stop releasing particles and the large ones below will start to spray particles onto the lower platform, forcing her to stand in front of Nettori.
 
If Samus is crouching, Nettori will shoot low; if Samus is standing or jumping, Nettori will shoot high. Samus can dodge the shots by jumping or crouching accordingly. Once Samus has fired enough Missiles at Nettori it will transform into a [[Hard Core-X]], trying to ram her as they normally do. Samus regains the powerful [[Plasma Beam]] upon its defeat.

**Alternately, it may be derived from 根 (ne) meaning "vine" and 鳥 (tori, as with Torizo) "bird" respectively.
*On close inspection, Nettori closely resembles a [[Torizo]]. The plants found between the platforms appear to be [[Blob Thrower]]s in regard to their appearance and projectiles, though they behave like the [[Samus Eater|Samus Eaters]]&nbsp;from [[Super Metroid|''Super Metroid'']], in that these do not appear to be extended and trap their prey.
 
  +
*Nettori's main body bears a striking resemblance to an upright [[Chozo Statue]] or [[Torizo]]. The reason for this is unknown, though it is worth noting that a previous [[Core-X]] was able to [[Elephant Bird|duplicate]] a Chozo statue.
 
  +
**In the ''[[Metroid Prime & Fusion Original Soundtracks]]'', Nettori is simply referred to as a '''{{Nihongo|Chozo Statue|鳥人像|Chōjin-zō dai}}'''.
*Because of the biomass' resemblence to a [[Torizo]], we could assume that the Nettori started off as a simple plant like a creeper vine and when it came into contact with the statue's energy generating capabilities, It grew to an enormous size. This would explain how it managed to grow to such an enormous size so quickly.

*The Nettori's [[VS. Chozo Statue First Form|first theme]] is similar to [[Mini Boss Confrontation (Spore Spawn, Botwoon)]], the battle theme of Spore Spawn and [[Botwoon]] in ''Super Metroid''. Its [[VS. Core-X, Chozo Statue Second Form‏‎|second theme]] is shared with the [[Elephant Bird]], another boss mimicking the appearance of a Chozo Statue.

**The Nettori boss battle shares some similarities with the [[Spore Spawn]]. Both bosses are accompanied by [[spore]]-spitting pods, and plants wilt upon this boss's defeat. As previously noted, their respective boss themes are stylistically similar.

**Nettori's battle is similar to [[Mother Brain]] in that both have a single safe place to stand, hazards on the ground and weapons attacking from above to assist them, and before they attack in their second form (Mother Brain's second form from ''Super Metroid'' as well as in the battle from ''Metroid: Zero Mission''), they start firing lasers.
*The Plasma Beam shots fired from Nettori act as a shield, causing any of Samus's weapons to bounce off of them. However, once Samus has obtained the Plasma Beam function, it allows enemy projectiles through.

Nettori[1] is the seventh boss Samus Aran faces aboard the Biologic Space Laboratories research station in Metroid Fusion.

Description

Nettori is a large plant-like boss created by the X Parasites. Nettori is the source of the heavy vegetation that extended throughout a large portion of Sector 2 (TRO) and into a small area of the Main Deck; the vines caused the main power to go offline by choking the components of the Main Reactor. Once Samus restores the auxiliary power, she still has to find out what is causing the main generator to malfunction. After she enters a secret tunnel to a vine-choked Sector 2 and encounters an SA-X, she comes upon Nettori deep within the sector.

Battle

First phase

When Samus enters the room, she will see Samus Eaters and some small unbloomed buds growing on vines on the walls; on the right side of the room stands a large biomass that resembles a Torizo or Chozo Statue and is intertwined with vines—that is Nettori. At this point, it won't have any active role in the battle and is completely open to attack; during the first phase, it relies on the Samus Eaters to fight Samus.

The two Samus Eater Buds on the vines above Samus release clumps of pollen at regular intervals, which float down and will damage Samus on contact, knocking her into a water pit covered by one of the bloomed Samus Eaters; the pollen can be shot out of the air, however. The three Samus Eaters on the bottom will remain dormant until Samus falls into them, at which point they will start to drain her energy. If she falls in, panicking and repeatedly jumping won't help; the trick is to make one long jump to get out, since the pits are filled with water.

In the middle of all this, Samus is supposed to damage Nettori's main body. If she stays in the Morph Ball on the platforms, she will avoid all of the plant's attacks; however, this position does not present an advantageous way to attack. An unintentional flaw in the pollen's flight path allows Samus to crouch on the far left side of the raised platform, where she can constantly shoot Ice Missiles into Nettori's main body. The pollen will occasionally block the missiles, but Samus can simply keep firing. A rapid volley of Missiles will make short work of the first form of Nettori. Another way to defeat Nettori is to continuously lay Power Bombs; these will not only damage Nettori, but also destroy any pollen, opening a path for a missile run.

Second phase

Once Samus does enough damage, the front part of Nettori will crumble away, the Samus Eater Pods on the vines will disappear, and the bloomed Samus Eaters will begin spewing pollen of their own. To avoid this, Samus must stand on the raised platform in the middle of the room.

Nettori will now use the Plasma Beam against Samus. If Samus is crouching, Nettori will shoot low; if Samus is standing or jumping, Nettori will shoot high. Samus can dodge the shots by jumping or crouching accordingly. Once Samus has fired enough Ice Missiles at Nettori, it will transform into a Core-X, trying to ram her and shoot her with its acquired beam weapon (in this case, the Plasma Beam) as they normally do. Samus regains the powerful Plasma Beam upon its defeat.

Upon Nettori's defeat, the vegetation withers away throughout the BSL station. If Samus exits and re-enters the room where she fought and defeated the Nettori, every plant within will have wilted and acquired a reddish-brown color.

Trivia

  • Nettori's name may possibly be derived from nettle, a species of poisonous flowering plant found on various continents. It could also be a combination of nettle and Torizo, which the central mass resembles.
    • In Japanese, "Nettori (ねっとり?)" means sticky.
    • Alternately, it may be derived from 根 (ne) meaning "vine" and 鳥 (tori, as with Torizo) "bird" respectively.
  • Nettori's main body bears a striking resemblance to an upright Chozo Statue or Torizo. The reason for this is unknown, though it is worth noting that a previous Core-X was able to duplicate a Chozo statue.
  • The Nettori's first theme is similar to Mini Boss Confrontation (Spore Spawn, Botwoon), the battle theme of Spore Spawn and Botwoon in Super Metroid. Its second theme is shared with the Elephant Bird, another boss mimicking the appearance of a Chozo Statue.
  • The Nettori boss battle is comparable to other bosses from previous games:
    • The Nettori boss battle shares some similarities with the Spore Spawn. Both bosses are accompanied by spore-spitting pods, and plants wilt upon this boss's defeat. As previously noted, their respective boss themes are stylistically similar.
    • Nettori's battle is similar to Mother Brain in that both have a single safe place to stand, hazards on the ground and weapons attacking from above to assist them, and before they attack in their second form (Mother Brain's second form from Super Metroid as well as in the battle from Metroid: Zero Mission), they start firing lasers.
  • Because the Samus Eater Pods constantly spit out harmful spores during the battle, the Nettori boss battle is similar to that of the Spore Spawn.
  • The Plasma Beam shots fired from Nettori act as a shield, destroying any projectiles fired by Samus. This feature is not retained by the version Samus receives.
  • Nettori is one of the few bosses that is vulnerable to Power Bomb blasts.
  • When Nettori is defeated, Samus will not be able to open the door to the right until the Plasma Beam has been obtained, despite the fact that all vegetation has been removed, reactivating the station's power. This is probably to prevent skipping the Plasma Beam.
  • After Nettori's "head" section breaks off, its Plasma Beam's explosion makes a sound effect exactly like the Ice Missile's explosion sound.
