Ridley is a character from the Metroid Series, and a quite important boss, generally one of the last ones. He is a dragon-type monster with claws and wings. His attacks include a charge attack, fireballs (a lot of small ones or a few big ones), and a grab attack, in which he grabs Samus, damaging her.
Character description
In Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission he appears as the leader of the Space Pirates and as a boss in the area with his name, and in Zero Mission the final boss is a mechanical Ridley. He, his counterpart Kraid and all the Space Pirates want to capture the Metroids for, of course, evil purposes.
In Super Metroid, he kidnaps the last Metroid, a larvae found by Samus. It ends up as the main mission of the game, and having to find the Metroid larvae, the player battle once more Kraid, Mother Brain and others.
In Metroid Fusion, Ridley's cryogenically frozen remains appear, and Samus later fights an X-Parasite mimicing him.
A cyborg version of Ridley, called Meta Ridley, was a major antagonist in Metroid Prime and reappeared in addition to a new version called Omega Ridley in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
