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, also known by the identifier "Geoform 187" or his title "The Cunning God of Death", is a recurring major antagonist in the ''Metroid'' series.

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. | Ridley is directly connected to [[Samus Aran]]'s past.
