Kraid is a boss that appears in the Metroid series. Kraid is a massive, high-ranked Space Pirate with three eyes and the ability to generate and fire spikes from his stomach and fingers. He usually appears alongside Ridley.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Kraid can be seen in the Brinstar Depths stage. He appears in the background rising from the acid every 15 seconds. After one big roar, he roars menacingly, and then slashes at the stage, which causes it to tilt. As a background character, he cannot directly affect or be hit by the player. He also appears as a trophy.
