The Baristute, also known as X-45G, is a Sidehopper/Dessgeega variation in Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid: Other M. It is larger in size, can take more damage, and is, of course, stronger. Baristute are vulnerable to all weapons, and can be defeated in exactly the same ways as their lesser relatives. In Zero Mission, its carapace shifts colors as it takes damage: while initially green and slow, it becomes progressively faster as it turns yellow, orange, and finally red - in the final stage, it is incredibly fast.
