The Arctic Spawn lives on planet Arcterra and is featured in Metroid Prime Hunters. Samus encounters the Arctic Spawn during her exploration of the Alimbic Cluster, and she must defeat it to gain the Imperialist, a sniping weapon. As a cold-adapted creature, it is highly resistant to cold damage, but conversely weak against heat-based weaponry, such as the Magmaul. It appears to be genetically similar to the heat-acclimated Fire Spawn.
