A Red Phaazoid is a red version of a Phaazoid. Sometimes a regular Phaazoid may split into this version - there are ten such rooms where one of the Phaazoids will split into a normal and a Red Phaazoid; it is said that this mutation is the result of an unstable core present during its creation. Red Phaazoids are more aggressive, can take more hits, and can't be split. They explode instead. After a Red Phaazoid has been defeated, Phaazoids will no longer appear in the room, and on most worlds, the surrounding rooms will contain no more Phaazoids either; however, on the Pirate Homeworld, some rooms will always contain normal Phaazoids even after all the Red variants have been destroyed. Defeating one will earn Samus a Gold Credit, but unlike all other Bonus Credits, the Gold Credits received
