Despite this risk, the extreme versatility of the X Parasite has led some among the Chozo and Galactic Federation to show interest in them as potential resources.Īn X Parasite scanned by a security sensor.Īn X Parasite's base form is a simplistic, airborne gelatinous organism approximately the size of a basketball with three particle-like structures that circulates within their mass like electrons. The galaxy at large learns of the Parasites in Metroid Fusion after Samus successfully eradicated the Metroids on their homeworld in Metroid: Samus Returns, and the detection of surviving X on ZDR in Metroid Dread forces Samus to once again confirm their extinction. The extreme danger of the X Parasites is what led the ancient Chozo to design the titular Metroid species, precipitating the events of the series. X Parasites are able to assimilate both the DNA and knowledge of other life forms, as well as to incorporate those features when they take new hosts, and their single-minded drive to consume and spread leaves them a threat to all other life in the cosmos, making it urgent to eradicate them. They serve as the main antagonistic force of Fusion and the tertiary antagonist of Dread. They appear in Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Samus Returns, Metroid Dread, and the prequel manga. The X Parasite, also known as Unidentified Parasite Creature-X by the Federation and known as Eddis by the Chozo, is an extremely hostile, shape-shifting organism native to planet SR388.

Can you not see that if a mimic such as this were to infiltrate a population, it could replicate almost indefinitely! With evil taking the form of an ally, the galaxy could be overthrown.

The creature took on the host's memories, appearance, abilities, everything.
