Kraid is one of the major antagonists from the ''Metroid'' series, making his debut in [[Metroid (game)|the first game]] alongside [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]]. In his original appearance, Kraid was depicted as a humanoid rhinoceros-like creature, although ''[[Super Metroid]]'' redesigned him as an enormous reptilian creature, which was retroactively featured in the first game's GBA remake ''Metroid: Zero Mission''.

In ''Metroid'' and ''Zero Mission'', Kraid is one of two Space Pirate bosses who must be hunted down and defeated by [[Samus Aran]] in order to access Tourian, the final area where Mother Brain and the eponymous {{b|Metroid|creature}}s are located. Kraid's lair is located in the depths of Brinstar, and is also home to a false Kraid that is much weaker than the real boss. Unlike ''Super Smash Bros.'', Kraid is never fought in an area with [[lava]] until ''Dread'', although he is fought in a room with pools of acid on either side of his platform in ''Metroid''. In ''Zero Mission'', defeating Kraid allows Samus to find the Speed Booster. Kraid also appears in the ''Monthly Magazine Z''-published ''Metroid'' manga, based on his role in ''Zero Mission''.

In ''Super Metroid'', Kraid plays a similar role as before, now one of four Space Pirate bosses who must be defeated in order to access Tourian. Kraid can be found in a new Space Pirate base in lower Brinstar, where his chamber is guarded by [[Kihunter]]s, Zebesians, and Mini-Kraid. Kraid rises from a thicket of brambles and thorns to challenge Samus, attacking with his claws and stomach spikes. Upon his demise, Kraid sinks into the ground, clearing the way for Samus to find the Varia Suit.

Upon his demise, Kraid sinks into the ground, clearing the way for Samus to find the Varia Suit.


After 17 years of absence, Kraid returns as the second major boss in ''Metroid Dread''. He has been forcibly restrained by the Mawkin Chozo in Cataris, the geothermal power plant of planet ZDR. Similar to ''Super Smash Bros.'', he is fought in a room with a pool of lava, and he strikes Samus's platform with his claw midway through the battle. His means of attack generally remain the same as in previous series, with the addition of new attacks such as fireballs from his mouth and a purple poison attack coming out of his stomach. Upon defeat, Kraid breaks free from his restraints but immediately sinks into the lava, making the way for Samus to find the Diffusion Beam. At the end of ''Metroid Dread'', an X parasite merges with Raven Beak and becomes Raven Beak X, a hybrid of Kraid and Raven Beak, which implies that Kraid had been assimilated by the X after his defeat. Immediately afterward, Raven Beak X is obliterated by Samus's Hyper Beam, likewise eradicating the last remnants of Kraid.
<!--In ''Metroid Dread'', -->
 
Kraid was planned to appear in ''Metroid Prime'' as a boss wearing a metallic helmet to protect his vulnerable head, although this was scrapped due to time restraints. Outside of the ''Metroid'' series, Kraid has also appeared as a towering robot animatronic in the "Metroid Blast" attraction of ''Nintendo Land''.
