The creatures are a parasitic species that use their gigantic teeth to drain energy from their prey. They are resistant to most forms of standard weaponry, but are exceptionally weak to cold temperatures, so [[Samus]] can destroy them with her {{s|metroidwiki|Ice Beam}} or {{s|metroidwiki|Ice Missiles}}. If one grabs onto her, the only way for Samus to shake it off is to drop a {{b|bomb|Samus}} while in her {{s|metroidwiki|Morph Ball}} form, which deals damage and detaches it from her. | ||
Metroids are native to the planet {{s|metroidwiki|SR388}}, but their parasitic nature makes them a constant target for Samus's archenemies, the {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirates}}; they introduced Metroids as invasive species to other planets, such as {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}} and {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}}. Samus was eventually commissioned by the {{s|metroidwiki|Galactic Federation}} to travel to SR388 and put them into extinction, although she spared [[metroidwiki:Metroid Hatchling|a single hatchling]] that imprinted on her. She returned this specimen to the {{s|metroidwiki|Ceres Space Colony}} for research, where it was subsequently stolen by [[Ridley]]. After his retreat to the Space Pirate base on Zebes, the hatchling was eventually killed by [[Mother Brain]], seemingly leading to the species' total extinction. | Metroids are native to the planet {{s|metroidwiki|SR388}}, but their parasitic nature makes them a constant target for Samus's archenemies, the {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirates}}; they introduced Metroids as invasive species to other planets, such as {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}} and {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}}.
