Aqua Drone

Aqua Drones are Space Pirate Sentry Drones modified for underwater use.
== Description ==
Aqua Drones are similar to their Sentry Drone "cousins" in terms of A.I., but lack the arm-mounted turrets present in the other model - perhaps these were incompatible with water. As such, the Aqua Drone maintains the compact patrolling form of the Sentry Drone even when an enemy is detected. Their only attack is a red beam cannon, which is fired from a turret beneath the optical device. The Drones are only seen to extend their arms when they have been destroyed.
The Space Pirates were unable to develop shielding from electrical attacks, making them vulnerable to Samus Aran's Wave Beam. They can only be found in the wrecked Frigate Orpheon's Biohazard Containment. Once she leaves the room, Samus will never encounter them again.

===Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide===
;Aqua Drone
:"Aqua Drones are just like their dry land twins, Sentry Drones. Upon detecting an enemy, they lock all doors to prevent any escape and fight until their quarry is captured or they're destroyed. Use your Wave Beam to short out their circuits in a hurry."
;Aqua Drone
:Found In: Tallon Overworld
:Recommended Weapon: Wave Beam
:"Aqua Drones float around in the waters of Tallon Overworld scanning the area for intruders. When an enemy is encountered, they lock any nearby exits to prevent escape. The doors remain locked until the Aqua Drone or its captive is eliminated. The Space Pirates weren't able to shield these machines against electrical attacks. Fire your Wave Beam at them to destroy them."
===Metroid Prime: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide===
;AQUA DRONE
:"Like most of the enemies in the area, the Aqua Drone is a former land-based item that the Space Pirate modified for underwater use. They are vulnerable to Wave Beam fire, but you may find it easier to take them out with a pair of Missiles."
===Metroid Prime Official Strategy Guide===
;AQUA DRONE
:MORPHOLOGY
:"The Aqua Drone is a security mechanoid that's adapted for use in underwater areas. The Space Pirates have adapted a number of Sentry Drones for use in the liquid environments. These Aqua Drones utilize an arsenal and artificial intelligence suit similar to their cousins. The Pirates have been unable to properly shield these drones from electrical attack, making them vulnerable to the Wave Beam."
:COMBAT TIPS
:"The Aqua Drone is most vulnerable to the Wave Beam, therefore the Wave Beam is the weapon of choice whenever facing these mechanoids."
===Metroid Prime Official Perfect Guide===
;AQUA DRONE
:"The Aqua Drone is essentially a water-based Sentry Drone. Getting too close to them results in the same sort of Visor interference you experienced earlier with the land-based model."
