War Wasp Hive

A War Wasp Hive, known as a in Japanese, is a hive that serves as refuge for Light or Dark War Wasps. The creatures will emerge in small groups until the hive is destroyed. War Wasp Hives are featured in Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
Variants of these include the Hive Mecha of the Ram War Wasps, the large Barbed War Wasp nest in the Burn Dome, and the hives that contain Barbed War Wasps in the Ice Hive on Arcterra. The Burn Dome nest is cremated during the Incinerator Drone battle.
These hives serve exactly the same role as Gragnol Hives from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Fly Pods from Metroid: Other M, which continuously spawn weak flying bioforms until the Hives are destroyed themselves.
In Metroid Prime, War Wasp Hives are simply known as Hives due to the lack of other hives. They are also named Flitter Hive in one instance in the Metroid Prime Official Perfect Guide.

:Found In: Chozo Ruins
:Recommended Weapon: Missile Launcher
:"War Wasp Hives are the home of War Wasps. Find them high on the walls of Chozo Ruins. If you do not destroy the hives, War Wasps will continue to emerge from them. It's best to identify War Wasp Hives as you enter each area and shoot each of them with a missile. Once they are destroyed, you are free from the nuisance of War Wasps for the duration of your stay in that area. However, War Wasp Hives are rebuilt once you leave the area for any length of time."

;WAR WASP HIVE
:"The large, orange, honeycomb-shaped objects that reside on walls and ceilings are War Wasp Hives. You can destroy a hive once you earn the Missile Launcher. If you blow one up, it will regenerate shortly thereafter--so it may be best to save your precious Missile ammunition."
===Metroid Prime Official Strategy Guide===

:MORPHOLOGY
:"The War Wasp Hive is the primary dwelling for War Wasps, and is only vulnerable to heavy weaponry. War Wasps build their homes over existing crevices, using whatever materials are close at hand. They carry building fragments back to the construction site with their forelegs, and glue them into place with adhesives secreted from their abdomens."
:COMBAT TIPS
:"As mentioned with Barbed War Wasps, the War Wasp Hive is important to destroy because it can often supply an unending number of War Wasps until they're destroyed. Targeting the War Wasp Hive can be difficult, especially if there are plenty of War Wasps in the air, but not to worry, a close hit with a Missile is often enough to take out the Hive."
===Metroid Prime Official Perfect Guide===
;WAR WASP HIVE
:"Destroy the Hive with a Missile as soon as you see it. A Hive can spew out varying amounts of War Wasps, sometimes three or four, sometimes five or six. Only the multi-cell chunks are actual Hives; the single cell deposits often found in the vicinity are harmless."
