Because Scream told me that you thought it took the person's soul, you said it drains the very thing giving you life, that implies life force or soul, and the only thing it is stated to drain is life force.
Scream said HE thought it drained souls so stfu scrub. (lrn2readingcomprehension)
Life force is a totally different matter, it would be considered "spirit" around these parts. A soul is what makes you who you are and lives on after death. Your spirit is what binds soul to body and also what gives life. Animals are said to have a spirit but no soul while humans have both soul and spirit. IMO Life force = spirit = what keeps you alive.
Whatever it is, it makes everything no longer alive. Even things that are artificial beings, Metroid is a life remover. Maybe it's not totally clear at this point the only thing to have come back from the final stage of a Metroid attack is Mother Brain, who was the Chozo's own creation.
Man I never really thought about that... I would imagine that if Samus can beat them with the power beam that a Metroid could drain them...
good question, I really don't know... but since whatever they drain is "life force", as long as they could detect the chozo ghosts they could probably eat them.
Doubt it. The Chozo are the ones who created the Metroids, so I'm sure they probably have some kind of defense against them.
Plus, in ghost form, they can phase in and out of existence. The Metroids would never be able to catch them if they tried.
I'm calling BS on the whole "Metroids take their victims' soul" thing.
Edit: How can you take only part of a soul? If they really took souls Samus would be dead. They seem to absorb not only life energy but any energy, as in the case of both Samus and Mother Brain
I don't know about souls or anything. Space Pirate studies reveal that whatever the life force is, it is not in the physical realm. Mercer is not dealing with something that harms him physically, like a bomb. He's fighting something that drains just about any source of energy, specializing in life energy.
They also specialized in wiping out the X, viral life-forms which infect and copy the abilities of their victims. Metroids absorb them on contact, no latching on necessary (I believe this was why the SRX388 Metroids became dinosaur like, as they didn't need to attach to X infected creatures; just kill them and touch the X.)
I had a theory that Samus' shielding is made of life energy. She kills things, and they drop shield energy or missile energy (no way those are physical.) Plus, the Chozo created both the suit and the Metroids, and they seem to have some power over life and death.
They had no power over life and death when it came to teh Phazon corruption on Tallon IV, apparently. They succumbed to madness from it just as easily as any other creature on the planet.

Yes, I think A Tallon metroid will stop him. Considering the amount of punishment they can take, they probably latch onto him before he can kill one, and he'll die.
But yeah, you seem to underrate Nintendo characters as a whole in every thread, especially Bowser.
