Larva Bombs^[1] are the Alt Form Weapon of the EnoemaBounty HunterKanden in Metroid Prime Hunters. These devices are segments of the Stinglarva's regenerating tail, which detach and track the closest opponent during multiplayer matches, exploding on contact.

The Larva Bombs are quite similar to Samus Aran's Morph BallBombs and Sylux's Electric Bombs. However, the latter types of bombs do not home in on enemies and are unaffected by gravity, except in certain instances. Also, unlike Samus and Sylux, Kanden has no counter for the Larva Bombs on his Heads-Up Display because he can only deploy one Larva Bomb at a time, whereas Samus and Sylux can deploy three. The homing aspect of the Larva Bombs is similar to the homing function of Samus's Missile Launcher and certain other weapons. Resting over a Larva Bomb will propel Kanden into the air like with Samus and Sylux's Bombs, although the Larva Bombs propel him higher.
