The Omega Griever is a boss featured in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. It is a massive, mutated Griever that took the place of the guardian Gravinax, which was guarding the Master Teleporter Key in the Great Mines.
Description
At one point an ordinary Maul Griever, and then a Maul Griever Brute, the Omega Griever gorged on Green Energy even more than its kin. This has caused it to mutate even further, entering a cocoon and emerging as a uniquely powerful specimen. Shortly after its metamorphosis, it moved deeper into the Great Mines, tearing its way through the remaining Lamorn barriers. It encountered and killed Gravinax, taking its place as the guardian of the Master Teleporter Key. Shortly afterwards, Samus Aran arrives seeking the key and it attacks her as well.
Battle
In the first phase of the battle, only the Omega Griever's head and upper torso is keratinized. It begins the first crawling on the walls and spitting poison at Samus, occasionally jumping across the room to break lock-on and attack from a new angle. It continues until she damages its unkeratinized body parts enough to stun it, causing it to bare its vulnerable chest towards her. After she damages its exposed organ, it falls from the wall and continue to fight. When Samus is distant, it alternates between pouncing twice to close the distance with Samus, striking the ground to create an expanding shockwave, or lashing its tongue at her to grab her and drag her closer. If it succeeds in grabbing her with its tongue, the keratinized portions of its head peel back, allowing Samus to shoot it directly and force it to release her. When she is close to it, it makes two large telegraphed swipes with its claws. Once its unkeratinized body parts sustain sufficient damage, it slumps over and Samus must set Bombs under its chest to make it rear back and expose its organ to her attacks. After it recovers, it retaliates by spraying a gout of acid in a large area that can entangle Samus and leaves damaging pools on the ground.
After it has been reduced to about two-thirds of its health, the Omega Griever immediately exits its stunned state if it is in it and gives a distinctive screen-shaking roar before leaping to smash into a wall and absorb a significant amount of Green Energy, summoning several Maul Grievers to distract Samus as it does so. The upper arm of its foremost right limb, middle left limb, and hind left limb, the forearm of its middle right limb, and the left side of its back become keratinized, and it returns to attacking Samus from the walls. Once downed from the wall again, it continues attacking with mostly the same moves as before. It now creates two shockwaves in quick succession, and it will now attack by creating a boulder of Green Energy in its claws to hurtle at Samus.
After it has been reduced to about one-third of its health, the Omega Griever once more roars and retreats to absorb more Green Energy while summoning Maul Grievers and Maul Griever Bombers. The forearm of its foremost left limb, hindmost right limb, all its claws, and the entirety of its torso aside from a portion of its lower-left back and the exposed chest organ become keratinized, and it once more attacks Samus from the walls, now moving significantly faster. Once downed, it resumes its previous attacks. It can now alternate between single shockwaves and sets of four, swipes four times with its claws, pounces up to four times in a row, will use its acid spray as a normal attack, and will also now fire a beam of Green Energy from its mouth while spinning, requiring Samus to jump over it if she is farther away or duck under it with Morph Ball if she is close.
When it has about one-tenth of its health left, the Omega Griever howls and collapses, allowing its tongue to loll out with the Psychic Power Bomb power-up at the end. Once Samus gets close, it grabs her and roars before latching onto her with its tongue, draining away her energy and restoring its own health. If Samus instead remains out of range, it cannot be damaged while playing possum, but it will eventually give up the act and resume attacking once more until it is slain.
Official data
Logbook entry
Omega Griever
Already the largest, strongest variant of a Griever, this creature has been further enhanced by absorbing incredible amounts of Green Energy.
It can climb along vertical surfaces and spit large volumes of poisonous fluids. Keratinized skin covers most of its body, making all but its abdomen resistant to beams, missiles, and other weapons.
The large, sharp claws on its two pairs of arms and legs pierce stone, allowing it to move quickly along the cave walls. Green Energy absorption has caused portions of it to undergo keratinization, becoming immune to all types of weapon damage. However, damage dealt to unkeratinized portions of its body can overload subdermal structures and muscles, crashing its nervous system and briefly rendering it unconscious. Damage to the central organ on its abdomen while unconscious can quickly prove fatal.

Trivia
- The Omega Griever serves a similar role to the Omega Pirate from Metroid Prime. Both have "Omega" in their name, serve as the boss of a mine set just before the final area (the Great Mines and the Phazon Mines), and are the largest version of smaller enemies (Maul Grievers and Space Pirates) and their larger variants (Maul Griever Brutes and Elite Pirates). Also, upon their defeat, they both faint and dissolve into liquid substance before evaporating, the Omega Pirate dissolving into liquefied Phazon, while the Omega Griever dissolves into liquefied Green Energy.
- Coincidentally, both Omega bosses took the role that was intended for a different boss originally, with the Omega Pirate replacing Kraid due to real-life development shortcomings, and the Omega Griever, presumably killing Gravinax in-universe and assuming its place as the guardian of the Master Teleporter Key.
