Is Raven Beak Samus' dad?

Yes, Raven Beak is Samus Aran's genetic father, as he donated his Mawkin Chozo DNA to her, giving her enhanced physical abilities, though he was a distant, manipulative figure rather than a nurturing parent like Old Bird or Gray Voice who raised her. He viewed her as his "daughter" out of pride for his genetic contribution, but his true goal was using her as a tool for his own conquest, leading to conflict in Metroid Dread Fandom.

Other contenders for difficulty include the Chozo Warriors, particularly the red-glowing melee attack, and Escue if fought without the Screw Attack, due to its unpredictable missile spam.
