A Phaazoid is a creature made out of Phazon energy, formed when a Leviathan is destroyed on Bryyo, Elysia, or the Pirate Homeworld.
Phaazoids fire Phazon-based rings at enemies, and can only be harmed by Phazon attacks. If hit enough times, they will split into two smaller Phaazoids. Destroying a small Phaazoid will cause it to split into two even smaller creatures resembling homing aerial mines. Samus can destroy each with one Hypermode shot. Certain Phaazoids, when split, will create one normal and one red small Phaazoid. These Red Phaazoids are more aggressive, stronger, and, when destroyed, drop one Gold Credit instead of mines. Unlike other credits, credits dropped by Phaazoids are dropped like any pickup, and must be drawn in and touched before it will register. Once its Gold Credit is collected, that Phaazoid will not create a Red Phaazoid again.
Phaazoids are one of the few Phazon-based life forms not found on Phaaze. It is unknown if they started appearing on Tallon IV and Aether after the destructions of their Leviathans.

Logbook entry[]
Phaazoid
Morphology: Phaazoid
Corporeal Phazon energy that is vulnerable to Phazon-based attacks.
Phaazoids are masses of Phazon energy that form after a Leviathan has been destroyed. They still retain a small bit of sentience and are mindlessly aggressive. The only way to damage a Phaazoid is by attacking it with Phazon-based attacks. However, this has a side effect of causing the creature to split into two smaller forms. Once the Phaazoid has split small enough, it will simply fly at a target and detonate on contact. It is said that some Phaazoids may split into a rare, crimson-colored form.
