Metroid BR5497

Metroid BR5497 is a Tallon Metroid being kept in stasis in the Research Lab Aether room of the Glacier OneSpace Pirate base in the Phendrana Drifts in Metroid Prime. It is terminated by Samus Aran during her invasion of the facility. She can either release it by destroying the Xenome Containment Unit holding it with a Missile or by scanning it, which will then cause it break to out on its own.

Interestingly, it is kept in a containment unit very similar to that of the Metroid Hatchling.
