The Parasite Queen, the first boss of Metroid Prime, appears in the background in Frigate Orpheon. However, she has no apparent effect on the gameplay, though there is a suggestion that she is the cause of the stage's flip effect.
Character Description
Metroid Prime begins with Samus Aran responding to a distress signal from the Frigate Orpheon. Space Pirates had been experimenting on the local parasite lifeforms of the world Tallon IV with the lethal mutagen, Phazon. They created up to four Parasite Queens. The first was found dead, killed in a battle against Space Pirates after it broke free. The second was found decaying in its tank, its cellular structure destabilizing due to a Phazon overdose. The third was in stasis, with low life signs.
When Samus reaches the reactor, the Parasite Queen appears. It is protected by a shield (as seen in the Frigate Orpheon stage) and fires blasts of energy from it's mouth. Samus had to fire into it's mouth through a multiple gaps in the shield. Upon defeat, it falls into the reactor, leaving Samus with 6 minutes to escape the Orpheon before it exploded. On Samus' way out, the third Queen breaks loose, but, since it's shell wasn't hardened fully, the Space Pirates dispatch it quickly.
In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, two Parasite Queen corpses, in a similar state to the dead queen in it's chamber on the Orpheon, can be seen in an elevator in West Skytown.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In the stage Frigate Orpheon, a Parasite Queen from Metroid Prime thrashes around in a tank, although it does not effect the fighters. It can also be obtained as a trophy.
Trophy Description
Space Pirates performed many experiments using Phazon as a means to artificially enhance physical strength. The Parasite Queen is the result of these experiments on one small life-form. This Parasite Queen lived in a nuclear power reactor and fired destructive beams at Samus from her mouth. The barrier that spun around the queen reflected her and Samus's attacks.
