Flying Ing Cache

In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, a Flying Ing Cache is an airborne Darkling used by the Ing to hide the Sky Temple Keys on Dark Aether.
==Description==
Ing Caches have an innate cloaking ability and can only be seen by using the Dark Visor. After being shot, however, they overload the Dark Visor and appear in the normal visual spectrum. A faint outline of them can be seen on Light Aether when the Dark Visor is used, though they cannot be shot or interacted with. Samus encounters nine of them on Dark Aether, each holding one of the Keys to the Sky Temple. They are hidden in the dark version of the room where the body of the Luminoth Keybearer who captured that key still lays. Some are protected by large numbers of Ing, while others are behind devilish puzzles, or just hidden in inclement places.
A Flying Ing Cache has 25 energy points once revealed.
The shape of these darklings is very similar to that of an Alimbic Datashade.

==Trivia==
*A Flying Ing Cache can still be shot at or even be destroyed while using an overloaded Dark Visor.
*In the GameCube version, if Samus activates the Screw Attack at point blank range of a revealed Flying Ing Cache, the creature will tremble, make a sound, then become invisible again. It can still be shot during this way, though it is likely a glitch.
*In the GameCube version, Samus cannot make any sort of contact with a Flying Ing Cache unless the Dark Visor is active or the creature has been revealed.
**If Samus is standing on top of the creature using the Dark Visor while it is invisible, switching off the Dark Visor will cause her to fall off the creature.
**Because of this, it is possible to get stuck within the creature as long as the Dark Visor is active.
*The text in the Logbook entry refers to it as an "Ing Flying Cache" rather than its name displayed elsewhere.
