#What's the most horrific Samus-monster X hybrid we can make outta this thing

How about the SA-X?

The X on SR388 were rendered dormant by Metroids, and any DNA information they had from previously infected creatures was degraded with time. The SA-X that infected Samus only had Hornoad DNA at the time of infecting, at which point it acquired Samus' DNA. The one Samus battled at the end of Fusion was the same, allowing it to turn into an overgrown Hornoad-Samus hybrid monster. Other SA-X around the station had infected other creatures along their path, meaning many of them could feasibly have turned into a number of other weird Samus-creature hybrids.
