The '''Zero''' ({{ja|ゾーロ|Zōro}}, ''Zoro'') is a recurring enemy from the {{uv|Metroid}} series. It is the larval stage of the [[Kihunter]] species.

==Origin==
==Origin==
Zeros<!--correct plural form (not "Zeroes"), according to the Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza--> made their debut alongside Kihunters in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', appearing in the swampy depths of [[Brinstar]] on [[Planet Zebes]]. It was not until ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'' that it became clear that Zeros are larval Kihunters, with their metamorphic life cycle displayed over the course of the game; after Zazabi's defeat, all Zeros aboard the BSL Station enter their pupal stage and form indestructible cocoons, later emerging as fully-grown adult Kihunters. In ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Other M}}'' (the source of their ''Smash'' design), Zeros were cloned aboard the {{s|metroidwiki|Bottle Ship}}, where many Zeros could be found in the nest of a [[King Kihunter]] in the {{s|metroidwiki|Biosphere}}.
Zeros<!--would "Zeros" or "Zeroes" be the correct plural form here?--> made their debut alongside Kihunters in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', appearing in numerous areas of [[Planet Zebes]]. It was not until ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'' that it became clear that Zeros are larval Kihunters, with their metamorphic life cycle displayed over the course of the game. In ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Other M}}'' (the source of their ''Smash'' design), Zeros were cloned aboard the {{s|metroidwiki|Bottle Ship}}, where they could be found in the nest of a [[King Kihunter]] in the {{s|metroidwiki|Biosphere}}.
 
In ''Super Metroid'' and ''Metroid Fusion'', Zeros slowly crawl along floors, walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. In contrast with their dangerous adult forms, Zeros are typically passive and generally ignore [[Samus Aran]], but they can damage her if she makes contact with their spiky bodies. In ''Other M'', Zeros behave more aggressively, actively lunging at Samus and spitting webbing at her. In this game, Zeros' hard exoskeletons are impervious to all weapons except for {{b|Bomb|Samus}}s, Plasma Beam, and the [[Screw Attack]].
 
==In {{for3ds}}==
While Zeros do not make any appearance in their larval form, they are mentioned in the trophy description for the adult Kihunter.

===As a stage hazard===
Zeros, along with [[FG II-Graham]] units and [[Joulion]]s, appear as [[stage hazard]]s on [[Pyrosphere]]. The weighty Zeros drop down onto the stage and then crawl slowly on the floor. If picked up by a fighter, their weight makes the fighter more difficult to [[launch]]. They can also be thrown at opponents or at [[Ridley]] to inflict damage. Zeros do not appear when the stage is set to [[Ω form]].
Zeros, along with [[FG II-Graham]] units and [[Joulion]]s, appear as [[stage hazard]]s on [[Pyrosphere]]. The weighty Zeros drop down onto the stage and then crawl slowly on the floor. Zeros ignore fighters in a similar manner to their appearances in 2D ''Metroid'' games, but they do not cause damage on contact. If picked up by a fighter, their weight makes the fighter more difficult to [[launch]]. They can also be thrown at opponents or at [[Ridley]] to inflict damage.


Zeros do not appear when the stage is set to [[Ω form]].
