Description
"These occasionally fly out of air holes. Remember! It takes one blast of the normal beam to destroy the yellow ones and two blasts to destroy the red ones."

-Metroid Manual, 1986

Biological Record 005: Zeb

These fast-flying creatures are one of the many examples of Zebesian fauna that possess bioluminescent anatomical features, bringing much needed visibility to an otherwise pitch-black environment. Using much of the left-over piping and machinery scattered throughout Brinstar as a way to travel undetected, their quiet, yet rapid fluttering is even hard to pickup on my external sound receivers. Atop their heads are large horn-like growths, which are used to pierce the bodies of their prey or intimidate other predators. That said, they aren't particularly large or dangerous; in fact, they're comparatively smaller than everything I've encountered thus far.
