So they prepared for the future, so that Samus could become the ultimate warrior, a Metroid herself.

Kind of interesting that, while the X are supposed to be essentially mindless mimics, Quiet Robe there either is in control... or the X that took his form took so MUCH of his form that it gained his memories as well, and understood what needed to be done, even though it'd mean the destruction of the X parasite itself in the process. In a way it shows that they could evolve to be more than just devouring 'grey goo' mimics. Maybe. Or Quiet Robe was just the abberation among them.

[@GothicHellhound]

I believe the X do take the memories of the host, ie able to understand Samus' suit and all its weaponry, knowing how to turn the robots back on etc

[@PenguinAndMoogle]

Yeah... No. The X can take the memories, intelligence, and abilities of the host (it was explained in Fusion). That's what made the X so terrifying. If they didn't, what's a few planets worth of species to wipe out the X?

[@Kalebfenoir]

@@PenguinAndMoogle I think it's more like, they take the memories, but they simply don't know how to use them, since they themselves are without mind. They are just ridiculously hungry/hostile to EVERYTHING, and anything organic is under threat of absorption when they're around. The reason they're a galactic threat is that they're basically Grey Goo, only instead of being nanomachines deconstructing everything into more nanomachines, they're amoebic organics with an amped up defensive factor (the mimicry) and a natural instinct to Devour. When they absorb a sentient being, or an animal, they might absorb its natural capabilities entirely, and utilize them...but it doesn't innately understand those things. It Does because it Does. But maybe, just maybe, an X eats something that, when rebuilding its form into that shape, it assumes not just the physical structure, but the actual mental structure as well, in a kind of carbon-copy. It isn't the original... but it's strangely close enough, which separates it from the others that JUST rebuild the physical structure as a framework to use.

[@MorphBaller388]

"confused by their newly borrowed intelligence"

[@kuronyra1709]

I always believed the X were more than meet the eyes and were actually much more smart than what most people assume. It however depend on the host. If an X parasite use a mindless creature X. It will only be just a more agressive version of it. However, if it copy an actual sentient person, they ALWAYS act with much more profund plans. Metroid Fusion: a X try to blow up the entire station by overheating the generator in Sector PYR. Metroid Fusion: a SA-X actually HELP against the Omega Metroid.

Foolish Raven Beak. Samus may have overestimated herself but you made the same mistake & paid the price for it. Power is NOT everything, it's how you USE your power, THAT is when you gain the REAL power. The power to overcome even the mightiest of foes.

One thing I noticed, was that as she was throttling him, many paid attention to the fact that now she's a metroid she wasn't letting go of his head. In my case I noticed Raven Beak wasn't just trying to pry her off him, but also shoot her off him with what I assume to be an ice beam in his power suit, since their suits are of similar design. Yet Samus kept dodging the cannon no matter how many times he tried aiming it while trying to pry her off. Unlike the Metroids, she's not letting him have a fighting chance.

'I'm sorry, but there is a six month waiting list for ship repairs, and may I remind you that you are three points away from losing your careful driver bonus.'

I always wondered...how did he plan to clone Samus?

I'm sure there's something that I missed, but who knows. Edit: Also, gotta love the idea: The last Metroid is Samus Aran. The Galaxy is at peace(?)

[@Blueroflmao]

We know that the baby metroid she handed in to the galactic federation was cloned. It WAS the last metroid, until it was cloned and experimented on. Cloning technology isnt necessarily widespread, but we know that both the chozo and the galactic federation (possibly the space pirates as well) has access to it. Remember that the chozo didnt find or tame metroids, they custom made metroids to be the ultimate tool for "peacekeeping"

[@venomasmark14]

@@Blueroflmao I don't think the Chozo cloned the Metroids. As you said, they manually and artificially created them. And the federation never really cloned anything, they used the DNA samples of Ridley and the Baby Metroid to make more, which ig in a sense is cloning, but it isn't entirely cloning. At least that's how I see it.

[@internettraveler8666]

@@venomasmark14 if they can make a copy of something with DNA samples they can do it to samus

[@IcarusAnimations]

I’ll admit it’s been a while since I last played Metroid Dread but I think it was shown in certain ares of the game that the villain did have access to some kind of cloning technology since we see enemy creatures in test tubes and such, also Kraid is somehow back on a completely different planet and imprisoned, likely to be experimented on. and it has been shown in several games that cloning technology is a thing in the Metroid universe since the Federation and Mother Brain managed to clone Metroids from the baby, so it’s likely that she did this with Chozo technology, and we know that the villain likely has this technology as well since you find creatures like Mother Brain in the Emmi zones, plus Federation technology since he hijacked the Emmis for the purpose of extracting Samus’ dna.

[@Blueroflmao]

@@IcarusAnimations in metroid fusion we also find Ridley's husk/empty shell that he left behind after some event (dont remember which one, but he molted like a lizard/lobster) Realistically, there is only one reason the galactic federation would bother taking his husk to that research station that we already know experimented on cloning and had illegal activities going on.
