Summary

The Ing are a powerful race of entities born from a Leviathan crashing upon Aether, which also created Dark Aether. They are essentially Dark Aether's variation of the Luminoth, of which they have been fighting since their creation to become the one true Aether in the universe, and eventually spread through the cosmos.

Range: Extended Melee Range normally, Tens of Meters (About 10 meters) with Lasers, and can be up to Interdimensional with Teleportation

Standard Equipment: Unknown

Intelligence: Tribalistic (Are smart enough to know which of their prey are suitable hosts and which are not, leave the stronger hosts for the stronger members of their species. Capable of breeding in various abilities for some sub-species of Ing, showing an understanding of the evolutionary process. Have created a social hierarchy, placing several kinds of Ing above or below others, much like a caste system)

Weaknesses: Are very irritated by light and are weak to Light Manipulation in general.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:

  • Possession: The standard ability used primarily by Warrior Ing, but not limited to them (Though this is contradicted slightly in a Q and A). Through possession, they quickly overwhelm enemies using corrupted and amplified versions of their allies, resulting in the quick growth of the Ing hordes in canon. Their possessing abilities have been shown to work on a multitude of things, from living beings to corpses of the Galactic Federation Marines, almost even corrupting Samus Aran (Legendary Suit) had she not obtained a resistance early in Metroid Prime: Echoes. They have notably corrupted machines (Such as Quadraxis) and inorganic materials, such as the Luminoth Webbings (Described as a "Shell of Acidic Fluids").

Note: The general Ing mostly consists of the earliest Guardians and standard enemies in-game, whereas higher-end Ing consist of the Hunter Ing and the various Guardians. This page does not include all the corrupted versions of the species found on Aether and its dark counterpart yet.
