Infant Tallon Metroids are the infant form of the Tallon Metroids seen in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The infants are transported in large numbers by the Space Pirates in Metroid Cocoons, and used as portable energy sources. They are relatively harmless in this stage; they lack the ability to drain life energy, and can only ram their opponents in defense. However, contact with Phazon causes them to rapidly mature into Tallon Metroids, making them more powerful and much more dangerous. They look very similar to Miniroids. They can be killed with one charge shot.
