Nailugger

A Nailugger"Nailugger" is the model's title in Metroid Dread's files. This appears to be a portmanteau of "Nailong" and "Slugger" (the internal name of Slaaga). is a creature found in Burenia on ZDR. It is a mutant created by the X Parasites, hybridizing the flying Nailong with the acid-spitting Slaaga. This gives it the mobility and attack pattern of the Nailong, stopping in the air before firing out tiny balls of acid that lob in arcs through the air. The acidic properties of the attack come from the Slaaga. Contact with one of the projectiles deals 50 units of damage to Samus. When unleashing acid, the Nailugger emits slight acidic vapor and its eyes glow.
Notably, one takes up residence in "Drogyga's domain" after the boss is killed.
