  • Metroid (メトロイド, Metoroido) is the eponymous recurring artificial organism in the Metroid series which also appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Flash 2.
  • Metroids are the titular creatures of the Metroid series. They are organisms created by the Chozo. First discovered on the planet SR388 years after their introduction, they were promptly used as a bioweapon by the Space Pirates. Metroids feed on the "life energy" of their prey in a manner similar to the way a leech drains a host organism's blood. Unlike leeches, Metroids leave all of their prey's blood and internal organs intact yet lacking the energy necessary to sustain life.
  • Metroids are a species of genetically-enhanced jellyfish, most prominently featured in the Metroid video game franchise. Many varieties of metroids are now available today thanks to breeding and wildlife conservation efforts, but they all generally share the following characteristics: Samus Aran is famous for driving metroids into extinction multiple times. They never completely die out, because Shigeru Miyamoto always releases some from his secret stash every time Nintendo needs more money.
  • Metroids are the titular creatures of the Metroid series. Created by the ancient Chozo race, they first became known to the universe at large when Space Pirates discovered them on their homeworld of SR388, and promptly decided to use them as bioweapons. Metroids feed on the "life energy" of their prey in a manner similar to the way a leech drains a host organism's blood. Unlike leeches, Metroids leave all of their prey's blood and internal organs intact, yet lacking the energy necessary to sustain life. It is unknown exactly how the Metroid extracts this "life energy" or what, in fact, said life energy consists of.
  • Metroids are one of the major elements and creatures in the Metroid series of games. They are some of the more feared species in the game, as they often appear in dark stages and attach themselves onto your face to suck out your energy. The species were created by the Chozo, and named them Metroid apparently because the name means "ultimate warrior" in their language. They created them so that they could be protected from the X Parasite, and they apparently don't eat blood as some may conclude, but rather suck out their victim's life energy. This allows them to kill the parasites without dying.
  • Metroids are a species of predator in the video game series of the same name, discovered on the planet SR388 years after they were created, and promptly used as a bioweapon by the Space Pirates. Metroids feed on the "life energy" of their prey in a manner similar to the way leeches drain a host organism's blood, however they leave all of the prey's blood and internal organs remain intact, feeding just off their life source. Metroids normally drain enough energy to kill their victims, which implies that Metroids are not parasites, but in fact predators.
