-Ridley, also known by the identifier '''Geoform 187''', is one of the main antagonists of the ''Metroid'' series, the other being [[Mother Brain]]. His appearance varies slightly across the series, but he is generally a large, winged alien that resembles a dragon or pterosaur. In spite of his bestial appearance and fearsome mannerisms, he is by no means a mindless animal, but a high-ranking {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}} that is sapient and, in some material, capable of speech.
+Ridley, also known by the identifier "Geoform 187", is a recurring major antagonist in the ''Metroid'' series. His physical appearance varies slightly across the series, but he is generally a large, winged alien that resembles a dragon or pterosaur. Despite his bestial appearance and fearsome mannerisms, he is by no means a mindless animal, but a high-ranking {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}} that is sapient and, in some appearances, capable of speech.
-Ridley is directly connected to [[Samus Aran]]'s past. In the ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}'', he led a Space Pirate ambush on an Afloraltite mining expedition on {{s|metroidwiki|K-2L}}, where Samus lived. He attacked her, but ended up killing {{s|metroidwiki|Virginia Aran}}, Samus' mother, when she jumped between the two to save her. {{s|metroidwiki|Rodney Aran}}, Samus' father, then detonated the Afloraltite, killing himself and several Space Pirates, and forcing Ridley to flee.
+Ridley is directly connected to [[Samus Aran]]'s past. In the ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}'', he led a Space Pirate ambush on an Afloraltite mining colony on {{s|metroidwiki|K-2L}}, where the young Samus lived. He attacked her, inadvertently killing her mother {{s|metroidwiki|Virginia Aran}} when she attempted to save her daughter. {{s|metroidwiki|Rodney Aran}}, Samus' father, then sacrificed himself by detonating the Afloraltite to destroy the Space Pirates, momentarily defeating Ridley. A decade later, Ridley met a teenage Samus on her new home of planet {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}}, murdering one of her adoptive {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} guardians, {{s|metroidwiki|Gray Voice}}, during the Space Pirate invasion.
-In ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'', Ridley is a leader of the Space Pirates on planet {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}}. He, [[Mother Brain]], and the Space Pirates stole and cloned the eponymous {{b|Metroid|creature}} creatures for galactic domination. Ridley, however, was surprised to find the little girl from years ago, now a grown woman, came to defeat him. In the remake ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Zero Mission}}'', he had also created a robot replica of himself called {{s|metroidwiki|Mecha Ridley}}. However, this robot was unfinished before fighting Samus, when it was destroyed.
+In the original ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'', Ridley is a leader of the Space Pirates on planet Zebes. He, [[Mother Brain]], and the Pirates stole and cloned the eponymous {{b|Metroid|creature}}s for galactic domination. Ridley, however, was surprised to find the teenage girl from years ago, now a grown woman, had come to face and defeat him. In the game's remake ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Zero Mission}}'', he had also created a robot replica of himself called {{s|metroidwiki|Mecha Ridley}}. However, this robot was unfinished before Samus destroyed it.
 Ridley returned in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime}}'', revived as the cyborg "[[Meta Ridley]]". In this new form, Ridley oversaw the experiments of {{s|metroidwiki|Phazon}} on the wildlife of {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}} aboard the [[Frigate Orpheon]]. This backfired, as the creatures mutated into {{s|metroidwiki|Parasite Queen}}s that escaped captivity and ransacked the ship. Meta Ridley encountered Samus aboard the frigate, fleeing to Tallon IV below while she gave pursuit. They then clashed at the {{s|metroidwiki|Artifact Temple}}, where the Chozo architecture turned on Meta Ridley and struck him with several lasers to the chest, knocking him into the {{s|metroidwiki|Impact Crater}}.
-Meta Ridley returned with an improved armorskin after [[Dark Samus]] took control of the Space Pirates in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}''. Meta Ridley led the Pirate assault on {{s|metroidwiki|Norion}}, but was defeated by Samus. Upon retreating to the {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate Homeworld}}, Meta Ridley was exposed to massive amounts of Phazon inside the {{s|metroidwiki|Leviathan}}, mutating into ''{{s|metroidwiki|Omega Ridley}}''. This powered-up form became the Leviathan guardian and fought Samus, but he was again defeated and subsequently cleansed of Phazon.

 In ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Samus Returns}}'', Ridley arrived on planet SR388 just as Samus returned to her ship with the Baby Metroid in tow. Ridley's body was still partially healing with cybernetic prosthetics, now known as "'''{{s|metroidwiki|Proteus Ridley}}'''". After an arduous battle, Proteus Ridley was left incapacitated on the planet's surface as Samus fled for the Ceres Station to deliver the Baby Metroid.
