==Summary==
The Tallon Metroids are a branch of metroids first found in Tallon IV, although were also brought to Aether by the Space Pirates and were likely the predecessors of the Phazon Metroids..
The exact origin of the Tallon Metroid is unknown. The PAL version of Metroid Prime suggests the Tallon Metroid was brought by the Space Pirates at the end of Zero Mission, however, seemingly mutated or were altered upon reaching Tallon IV. In the original NA version, the the Tallon Metroid already existed upon Tallon IV prior to the Space Pirate colonization- seemingly a distinct form of the Metroid species seen in SR-388, mostly existing within the overworld until a Leviathan crashed on top, spreading the species between the Phazon Mines and Impact Crater.
Unlike their standard counterparts they are significantly weaker normally, requiring less firepower to kill but still pose a formidable threat. Naturally, Tallon Metroids evolve into Hunter Metroids, unlike their standard's large family of evolutions. While their natural growth has less transformations as the standard counterpart, they have been shown to be able to mutate easily, espically by Phazon.

Attack Potency: Unknown (The Tallon Metroid and Hunter Metroid primarily use their life-absorption ability to attack its prey) | Planet level (Is supposed to be stronger than the general Ing, rams into Samus Aran (Legendary Suit) to damage her alongside their life-absorption) | Unknown (Phazon significantly improved the Fission Metroid, however, it's unknown by how much)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (Capable of keeping up with a Varia Samus Aran (Legendary Suit) in the Phendrana Drifts despite the Tallon Metroid's weakness to cold; the Hunter Metroid is faster than the regular Tallon Metroid and capable of keeping up with Samus in her Gravity Suit; the Dark Metroid is superior to the Ing and battling Dark Suit Samus; the Fission Metroid is capable of keeping up with Samus Aran in her Phazon Suit)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 25 (Can easily carry a Space Pirate corpse, despite Tallon IV's 773g Gravity, can also expand in size and mass as the creatures absorbs more energy) | Class M (A Hunter Metroid is capable of trapping Samus within its tendrils, despite being weaker than a Dark Metroid or Fission Metroid)
Striking Strength: Unknown | Planet level (Dark Metroids can ram into Samus Aran (Legendary Suit) in order to injure her)
Durability: Planet level (Can resist most of Varia Suit Samus 's lower level arsenal in their standard and Hunter forms; Tallon Metroids survived the collision of the Leviathan on Tallon IV within the NA version; in both versions, the Tallon Metroid that would eventually become Dark Samus survived an encounter with the core of the Leviathan and likely killed it) | Unknown (Completely able to resist the attacks of an enhanced Samus except for the Light Beam as a Dark Metroid) | Unknown, At least Planet level (Superior to the Metroids that resisted the impact from the Leviathan to Tallon IV as the Fission Metroid, also immune to many of Samus' weapons as a Fission Metroid)
Stamina: Varies, depending on how much energy they have consumed, but it is incredibly high on average
Range: Standard melee range, extended melee range as the Hunter Metroid | Standard melee range for the rest
Intelligence: Relies on basic animal instincts, though as evidenced by Metroid Prime and Dark Samus' connection to them, they are capable of forming bonds and have a degree of intelligence | Basic Tribalistic Intelligence | Same as ordinary Tallon Metroids
Weaknesses: The Tallon Metroid becomes significantly slower within sub-zero temperatures, although its unknown if the Tallon Metroid retains its absolute weakness to cold | Loses its weakness to cold, as shown by being native to the Phendrana Drifts | Weak to light energy and sensitive to sunlight | None Notable
