Pirate Hussars (referred to as a Beast Rider by Paul Tozour) are Space Pirates who are brave enough to be willing to ride the deadly Korakk Beast appearing in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. They are armed with dangerous Phazon Energy Lances. If a Hussar dies, his mount will try to avenge his death. The Hussar is usually killed before the Korakk. However, if the Korakk Beast is killed first, they will both die.
