METROID

Concept Art of a Metroid

One of my favourite Sci-Fi games is definitely Metroid. And one of the best 

enemies in Metroid is... the Metroid! These things have been floating around

the series since the early days. 

Metroids are artificial organisms discovered on the planet SR388. Years after they were created by the Chozo, they were promptly used as a bioweapon by the Space Pirates. Metroids feed on the "life energy" of their prey in a manner similar to the way a leech drains a host organism's blood... In other words they cling to your face and try to suck out your Braaainnnss! Unlike leeches, Metroids leave all of their prey's blood and internal organs intact yet lacking the energy necessary to sustain life.


Metroids are very difficult to dislodge and will quickly drain their victim's life force completely, often killing it in seconds. Using Morph Ball Bombs is the only known way of dislodging an attached Metroid.
