A being of Phazon taking on the shape of [[Samus Aran]]. She made a brief cameo appearance in the secret ending of [[metroid_prime|Metroid Prime]], was a central character in [[metroid_2:_return_of_samus|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]], and was the main antagonist in [[metroid_prime_3:_corruption|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]].

After Samus defeated the [[metroid_prime_(creature)|Metroid Prime]] on Tallon IV by absorbing Phazon and using it as a weapon against Metroid Prime, the creature began to destabilize, and in a desperate move, it absorbed her Phazon Suit and subsequently exploded. As Samus left the planet, a new creature was born from Samus' DNA and the remains of Metroid Prime, using Samus' Phazon Suit as a mold to contain its new body - the creature known as Dark Samus.
