The Dark Sphere
The Dark Sphere is an object that resides in the Dark Agon Wastes and provides Dark Energy to the Amorbis (which attach and detach themselves from the sphere), resulting in the creatures going through some sort of transformation. The sphere itself is a grayish black stone color with small orange lines running all around it. Scanning it reveals that the sphere is invulnerable to all weaponry. When Samus deals internal damage to the Amorbis trio through the use of Bombs, they convulse violently and unintentionally slam the Dark Sphere against the ground, cracking it little by little. When cracked, the Dark Sphere gains more visible orange highlights of energy within each large crack line. At the end of the battle, the sphere breaks open in an explosive manner, revealing the Dark Suit within.
When Samus leaves the Dark Agon Energy Controller after draining the dark Energy Controller, three Warrior Ing in puddle form appear from where the Dark Sphere once stood at in the dark temple. The Safe Zone that was temporarily present where the Dark Suit once stood has also dissipated.
When an Amorbis attaches itself onto said sphere to gain energy, the creature possesses a distinct black armor with orange highlights. These colors greatly resemble the Dark Suit's colors, which this transformation may allude to. It is unclear if other creatures were able to harness the Dark Sphere's energy in a similar manner, though Dark Pirate Commandos coincidentally bear a similar color scheme as a Dark Amorbis.

Trivia[]
- When there is more than one Amorbis gripping onto the Dark Sphere, only the last one doing so will involuntarily damage the sphere, as the first one (or the first two when all three worms are present) will immediately detach itself (themselves) from it after being bombed within and burrow into the ground without slamming it.
- The destruction of the Dark Sphere mirrors that of Zebes in Super Metroid, with the sphere cracking and exploding.
- The fact that the Dark Suit was contained within suggests that this Sphere may have belonged to the Luminoth, and was stolen by the Ing. On the other hand, the Ing may have merely stolen the Suit and encased it in the sphere to channel the energy from the Suit into the Amorbis.
