Red Phaazoid

A Red Phaazoid is a red version of a Phaazoid. Sometimes a regular Phaazoid may split into this version - there are ten such rooms where one of the Phaazoids will split into a normal and a Red Phaazoid; it is said that this mutation is the result of an unstable core present during its creation.
Red Phaazoids are more aggressive, can take more hits, and can't be split; they explode instead. After a Red Phaazoid has been defeated, Phaazoids will no longer appear in the room, and on most worlds, the surrounding rooms will contain no more Phaazoids either; however, on the Pirate Homeworld, some rooms will always contain normal Phaazoids even after all the Red variants have been destroyed.
Defeating one will earn Samus a Gold Credit, but unlike all other Bonus Credits, the Gold Credits received from Red Phaazoids drop from the defeated enemy in a manner similar to all other power-ups; they are scannable, and can be picked up on the spot or collected by utilizing the Charge Beam. Once its Gold Credit is collected, that Red Phaazoid will not reappear.
==Trivia==
*The Red Phazon seen in the Impact Crater of Metroid Prime is, like the Red Phaazoid, a rarity among the more common type (in this case, blue Phazon). It is possible that Red Phaazoids are somehow linked to the Red Phazon. Red Phazite in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is also possibly link
**If Red Phaazoids are linked to Red Phazon, their logbook entry may hold the only in-game explanation behind the latter's creation. The former is stated to be the result of a rare mutation occuring in an unstable core, while Phazon itself is created by a creature known as a Phazon Core living inside a Leviathan. This would lead to Tallon IV's Leviathan possessing a core that became unstable at some point in its lifespan.
