Reos (リオ, Rio) are enemies from the Metroid series.

Origin[edit]

Samus battling a swarm of Reos in Other M

Reos (also referred to as "Rios" in early Metroid games) are inhabitants of Zebes who resemble flies, and are among the many hostile creatures that will attack Samus Aran. They possess sharp claws and can be resilient, especially posing a serious threat in large groups. They can usually be found flying high in the air, and then they attack by swooping down low when Samus approaches them. In Other M, Reos are seen appearing from nests of biomass called Fly Pods; they can latch onto Samus, forcing her to shake them off.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

In Smash Run[edit]

Reos appear as enemies, based on their appearance in Other M. They remain stationary in the air and attack by swooping down on nearby players, behaving similarly to their appearances in 2D Metroid games.

NTSC These clawed, fly-like enemies from Metroid show up in Smash Run, too. They float in midair, then fly in a U shape when you get close. They're predictable, which makes them easy to outsmart, but stay on your toes anyway—their attacks can send you flying. One way to beat them is to grab and throw them when they buzz near you.
