'''Scarabs''' are nearly negligible creatures native to [[Tallon IV]]. They appear in two sections of the planet: [[Phendrana Drifts]] and [[Chozo Ruins]]. They tend to swarm in small rooms and narrow hallways. They are always found moving about in a large mass. If they sense a hostile creature is near, they block the creature's path by embedding themselves onto walls, ceilings and floors.<ref name="Scarab Logbook">{{cite|​​Exploding parasites that can embed their bodies in solid rock.
