Description

Metroid by Nintendo
First Appearance: Metroid (NES 1986)

Metroids are organisms created by the Chozo, genetically engineered in order to prevent the spread of the more dangerous X Parasites. First discovered on the planet SR388 years after their introduction, 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. Interestingly, the word "Metroid" in the Chozo language roughly translates to "Ultimate Warrior".

Metroids appear as Assist Trophies in the Super Smash Bros. series and as Enemies in Smash Run, latching onto nearby foes and draining them of their energy. They don't attack their summoner.
