The Jump Guardian is a Sub-Guardian in the game Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, found in the Judgment Pit of the Dark Agon Wastes. The Jump Guardian is one of the Warrior Ing that originally attacked Samus Aran. This particular Ing stole her Space Jump Boots, which subsequently mutated it. This Ing has two attacks: creating a dark force-field which it jumps with; while upon landing, the field sends out dark pulsing waves and shooting lasers of Dark Energy. The Jump Guardian takes a long time to defeat as his health is depleted slowly. Samus will slowly regain health if she stays inside the Light Crystal's Safe Zone. Killing the Ing is the only way to recover her Space Jump Boots.
