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 material, capable of speech. | Ridley, also known by the identifier '''Geoform 187''', is a recurring major antagonist in the ''Metroid'' series.

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. | In the original ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'', Ridley is a leader of the Space Pirates on planet Zebes.
