Metroid (creature)
The Metroid is a specie of extraterrestrial creature from the Metroid universe.
Creature description
Metroids are parasitic life forms that suck the life out of other living things to sustain themselves. This makes them a constant target for Space Pirates.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Metroid itself appears in Melee, but only as a collectible trophy.
As a trophy
The Metroid features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:
- Metroid
- A parasitic life form that can absorb all types of energy, Metroids have strong resistance to most conventional weaponry. To defeat them, Samus Aran had to freeze them with Ice Beam shots and then blast them with missiles. Mochtroids, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei. (Metroid 08/89)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Metroid species makes a somewhat more prominent appearance in this game.
As an Assist Trophy
When a Metroid is released, it will latch onto a character and either sap their health or electrify them. It has not yet been confirmed on the Dojo, but has been seen in action on a gameplay video
