Invisible Bombu

Invisible Bombus,Metroid Prime: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide pg. 111 also known as Void Bombus,Metroid Prime Remastered unused Logbook entryMetroid Prime Official Strategy Guide are fully electrical organisms belonging to the Bombu species encountered in Metroid Prime.
==Description==
Samus Aran will only encounter them in Quarantine Access B and Fungal Hall Access in the Phazon Mines. As their name suggests, they are invisible and therefore require the use of the X-Ray Visor to target them. Otherwise, they are fought in the same way as a normal Pulse Bombu.
Oddly, their unused logbook entry states they are not attracted to energy sources, but this is incorrect as they are still drawn to her like regular Pulse Bombus whenever she uses her Charge Beam.

;QUARANTINE ACCESS B (pg. 111)
:INVISIBLE BOMBU
:"Quarantine Access B contains an invisible Bombu. Use the X-Ray Visor to find he[sic] elusive critter, then blast it with the Wave Beam. If you're having trouble, just shoot the Wave Beam into the air a few times - you'll hit the Bombu eventually."
===Metroid Prime Official Strategy Guide===
;VOID BOMBU
:MORPHOLOGY
:"This is a Bombu that's capable of phasing out of the visible plane. The phased nature of the Void Bombu makes detection difficult. Most Visor technology is useless when tracking these creatures. They still shed electric charges, though they aren't drawn to charged energy sources as most Bombus are."
:COMBAT TIPS
:"Void Bombus are best avoided. They aren't attracted to Samus' weapons, therefore it can be best to attempt to avoid them. The X-Ray Visor is the only visor that allows Samus to see a Void Bombu."
===Unused Logbook entry===
==Development notes==
Invisible Bombus are one of the few enemies in the game that do not possess a Logbook entry, as they cannot be seen by anything other than the X-Ray Visor. However, Metroid Prime Remastered contains an unused Logbook entry for Void Bombu, which is likely a leftover from the development of the original Metroid Prime. It shares this distinction with the Cloaked Drone, another invisible enemy that cannot be scanned.
==Trivia==
*It is unknown why this particular member of the Bombu species is invisible. It is possible that the Space Pirates, who use Bombus for recon, gave them a cloaking ability akin to what the Shadow Pirates and Cloaked Drones are equipped with. Alternatively, their invisibility may be a random Phazon mutation as the only rooms the invisible Bombus inhabit are suffused with the radioactive substance.
*Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide erroneously refers to these beings as invisible Scatter Bombus,Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide pg. 57 even though they are identical to Pulse Bombus instead of Scatter Bombus.
