Speed: Massively FTL+ (Comparable to Samus Aran)

Striking Strength: At least Planet level (Capable of hurting Samus with physical strikes)
Durability: At least Planet level, likely higher (Can only be hurt in certain weak spots, and is otherwise completely immune to Samus' attacks)

Range: Several Meters physically, Tens of Meters with abilities
Standard Equipment: A large portion of the Light of Aether
Intelligence: Likely Below Average (The Ing are stated to be as capable of individual thought as a highly intelligent sharkMetroid Prime 2: Echoes Q&A, Japanese Metroid website, translated by Shinesparkers here, though they have an elaborate caste system and even train themselves for the purpose of superior martial skill and have the capability to understand and operate complex technologyMetroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007) - Logbook, Dark Pirate Trooper)
Weaknesses: In its first phase, Emperor Ing cannot be harmed directly: To actually deal lasting damage, one must destroy its tentacles, exposing its "eye", and deal damage to that before it regenerates its "head". Once enough damage has been dealt, the Emperor will enter a chrysalis form and flood the area with toxic gas as it absorbs energy to heal and transform: in that state, it can be harmed by striking at the eleven weak points on its shell. Finally, the mutated Emperor Ing is nearly indestructible, but the inside of its mouth, protected by a durable forcefield, can be harmed by striking it with light energy when it is imbued with dark energy, and vice versa. Ing are near-universally afraid of bright lightMetroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004) - Logbook, Warrior Ing, but Emperor Ing is still capable of withstanding great amounts of light-based attacks.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Using the Ing's teleportation powers, it shoots six rays of light energy.
* Rushes the enemy, as more damage is placed on the Emperor Ing, the more dark energy is released around it, making nearly impossible to inflict physical damage without ignoring themselves.
* Absorbs all the dark energy around the location and made by Madman's Rush to fire a massive ball of dark energy to the ground, which is also omnidirectional.
* Infects and corrupts the enemy into a far stronger variation, can also affect the dead.
* A short range attack that when it hits, it temporary blinds the enemy .
