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. | 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.

After 17 years of absence, Kraid returns as | 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. | ||
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''. | 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''; much like in ''Super Smash Bros.'', this appearance has Kraid emerging from a pool of lava. | ||
