I wonder if there's enemies in Ravenous that'll have ice/cold based abilities?
That way the whole experience isn’t just your typical Metroid eating aaaah fantasy and you have to play around your elemental weakness too. Still find it kinda convenient how Raven Beak never used Ice Beam when he knew what Samus was becoming, but Ravenous could rectify that with some other enemies.
… That would be a good time to make Ice Ridley canon outside of Metroid Blast if he ever came back somehow, or at least is how I'd handle him. Not a mere robot like in Nintendo Land but in the flesh, cybernetically modified to have ice breath over his usual plasma for the occasion.
Regardless of who has ice powers though, I'd want to feel like I'm dealing with opportunistic predators as much as I am one myself as Samus. Like how the Prime games handled it, getting frozen would make you have to mash out and if you're too slow, the enemy gets to do more damage to you, except on the harder difficulties, mashing out is more of a struggle especially if you're at low health.
