No.  You don't get it.  All Metroids start out as larvae, then they progress through the stages.  None are born a Gamma Metroids, Alpha Metroids, Beta Metroids, Zeta Metroids, Omega Metroids, or any other (except maybe Fission).

Yes, the Omega Metroid was born a Gamma.  You can see his discarded shell, which is two times bigger than larvae one. Directly from Metroidwiki : "Samus will start to find discarded membranes, likely signs of the Omega Metroid evolving, since the Omega Metroid started of as a 2nd stage Metroid." And you can clearly see that the Omega Metroid is much more powerful than the others, able to reduce Samus' life to critical level. Remember that those Metroids are not naturally born. They were developped by the Galactic Federation.

If you find a 14 inch long snake skin, does that mean the snake had been born 14 inches long? I don't fully trust that site, personally.

Yeah, it's a wikia, edited by fans. Can't take everything said there literally, unless it came from Nintendo's mouth.

But you're not sure that he was born a larva, heh ? He may be artificially created.

No.  They are all born as a larva.  Can you give birth to a fully grown adult? No.

Maybe he was born a larva, but got frozen until he was Omega. So, he was "born" an Omega.

They wouldn't develop if they were frozen.

Well, why was there others stages Metroids in the lab ? They were frozen and still evolved. And don't go with the "adult birth". They're not like us. They could possibly evolve before even being born.

There were probably other stages in the lab so that the researchers could study them.  I think they're in stasis, not frozen.  The can't evolve in stasis, either.  They could have eveolved before they were put into stasis or frozen or whatever.  And nothing evolves before being born.  If it does, it doesn't count as part of the active life cycle of that being.

I was going to suggest cloning but, unless I'm wrong, even cloned animals end up in their infant stages first.

First of all, I am not a pokemon. I don't just randomly evolve because someone needs me to become a giant freaking dragon. It's taken mankind millions of years to evolve to their current stage, and many of us are born human today.

That said, although I admit that perhaps there is possibly something really bizarre about their lifecycle, I simply don't see your evidence as being concrete and having only one conclusion. I don't even understand the concept of their consciousness. I don't even understand the concept of ants either, but pretty much any explanation seems to be valid as far as I can tell (or care, for that matter). I just like to point out that it's really rather silly that you guys are debating this as though you are experts that actually have enough information to prove your points.

I mean really, you're talking about a game that has you go around fighting enemies that can completely destroy and collapse sections of the station, and claiming your likelihood of surviving your mission to fight Arachnus climbs to 10% once you get missiles. By the by, I hope you guys eventually decide on a reasonable timeline for the Final Fantasy series. Good luck, guys.

To answer this "?" Somewhere in the game where the Main Computer tells Samus that Metroids are predators of the X. So they are more addicted attacking X than anything else.

*look at the attached red link picture*

Okay kids, get out your number 2 pencils, it's time for a lesson.

Quote from Sephian5535:
If you'll notice, at the part where Samus finds the lab with all the metroids, they do not attack her.

You might notice that this sentence does not end in a question mark. It is stated as a fact. You might also recall that the Restricted Lab is not at the end of the game, nor does an Omega Metroid attack there. That likely means that this attack he is referring to is not the same one mentioned in the thread title.

Quote from Sephian5535:
What boggles me is if the metroids think she's one of them, then why did the Omega Metroid attack her (since it is a metroid)?

Here, at the end of the post, you notice this sentence. Look closely and you find out that it has a question mark (?) at the end. This implies that it is a question. You might also recall that the Omega Metroid's attack does, in fact, come at the end of the game. The Omega Metroid is also an Omega Metroid. You can conclude that this is the question he is asking.

A keen eye may also discover that the question at the end of the post makes no remark about the SA-X at all. The only parties mentioned are Samus (referred to throughout the original post's second paragraph) and the Omega Metroid. You may then make a logical conclusion that Sephian is asking for the reason that the Omega Metroid attacked Samus. Keep in mind that throughout the game, it is never implied that Samus herself is an X organism. In fact, it directly states that she has Metroid DNA fused to her DNA.

After figuring all of these details out, you might then realize that it doesn't seem likely that the Omega Metroid attacked Samus for the purpose of preying on X.

Hmmm...that is right. The only thing I can think about is property's defense. The station might be considered as the Omega Metroid "territory", since he's the only one of his stage and the strongest.

When I got to that part, I was *oh fuck*. I had my missile ready but went after SA-X. I sat there and rofl.
If you remember from Super Metroid, since the baby metroid (yes it took steroids, not really laugh new ) since the metroid protected her. The dna went on her suit. When she returned to (can't remember name) Sr388 I think, she got infected. Since the metroid dna was injected, the larva didn't go after her instead SA-X. Reason: A copy of samus & see's the varia suit & thinks it's Samus. The omega metroid went after both. It didn't care which one. Or the larva followed samus.

I'm pretty sure the Metroid DNA didn't get fused to her suit in Super Metroid. I think it's possible that the injection of energy the Hatchling gave to Samus caused the chemical reaction resulting in the Hyper Beam. I don't think the DNA actually became part of the suit, or else the X probably couldn't have infected Samus in the first place.

I'm very confused about the "larva" you keep talking about. I assume you just mean that the Omega Metroid had seen the SA-X before, and assumed Samus is one of them? That's probably a good reason, actually.

First, the Hyper Beam is a part of Motherbrain DNA, not the Super Metroid. So, it is possible that Motherbrain DNA actually fused with Samus, since she's already a part of Motherbrain (remember, in the E-manga, when Samus was infused with Chozo DNA ? Well, she was in Brainy's tube). Second, the Omega Metroid has already seen SA-X, that's for sure. Why ? Because the SA-X has already cloned itself while the Omega Metroid was growing. And OM (I'm tired of saying Omega Metroid each time) has travel between the sectors of the station, therefore has probably encounter the SA-X more than one time.

Yeah, but if I said OM without that notice, one would never suspect that I was talking about the Omega Metroid.

the sa-x was the bigger threat.

I think and going by what perfectnote had said, the Omega Metroid must of mistook samus as being sa-x going by how they resemble each other. The Omega Metroid had to encounter and eliminate most of the sa-x's because when you play through the game you rarely encounter them, so if it wasn't there then most likely you'll encounter sa-x in a room at random.

Also I don't think the Omega Metroid had any Intentions of hurting samus cause when she was in the secret lab, none of the metroids attacked her. They must of thought of samus as there own kind, also the Omega Metroid really must have been confused when it seen two sa-x's(one of them is samus), so it decided to take down both of them even if samus had the metroid's DNA in her, she still looked like sa-x.
