Ta'kaya as "Teyla the Demiphoenix"

A friend tells me that it is actually an acronym for "Inception Necromorphic Grouping". Feel free to post your own theories here.

Also, I think Dark Samus created them specifically to kill the Luminoth.

I like turtles.

Neither of those things. They're other-dimension counterparts of the Luminoth and "Ing" is simply the latter race's word for "terror."

I believe you mean "the "former" race's word for terror"

I like turtles.

Nope, I meant the latter. As in, the Luminoth.

Oh, I misunderstood.

"They're other-dimension counterparts of the Luminoth..."

Silence. Before I find a Denzium-Carbon alloy and make a sword out of it due to sheer boredom.

This. They literally named an enemy a beetle in metroid prime.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

I like to think that was actually just a case of Samus having fought so many goddamned alien bugs that she ran out of things to call them. "It's a... it's, I dunno. Fuck it, it's a beetle. Whatever."

Hey, "War Wasp" is a frightening name for an alien.
