Ridley, also known by the identifier '''Geoform 187''', is | Ridley, also known by the identifier '''Geoform 187''', is a recurring major antagonist in the ''Metroid'' series. His physical appearance varies slightly across the series, but he is generally a large, winged alien that resembles a dragon or pterosaur. In spite of his bestial appearance and fearsome mannerisms, he is by no means a mindless animal, but a high-ranking {{s|metroidwiki|Space Pirate}} that is sapient and, in some material, capable of speech. | ||

In the ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}'', he led a Space Pirate ambush on an Afloraltite mining colony on {{s|metroidwiki|K-2L}}, where Samus lived. He attacked her, inadvertently killing her mother {{s|metroidwiki|Virginia Aran}} when she attempted to save her daughter. {{s|metroidwiki|Rodney Aran}}, Samus' father, then detonated the Afloraltite, sacrificing himeslf to destroy the Space Pirates and burying Ridley under burning rubble. Ridley later encountered Samus as a teenager on planet {{s|metroidwiki|Zebes}}, where he murdered one of her {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} adoptive parents, {{s|metroidwiki|Gray Voice}}. | ||

He, [[Mother Brain]], and the Space Pirates stole and cloned the eponymous {{b|Metroid|creature}} creatures for galactic domination. Ridley, however, was surprised to find the little girl from years ago, now a grown woman, came to defeat him. In the remake ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Zero Mission}}'', he had also created a robot replica of himself called {{s|metroidwiki|Mecha Ridley}}. However, this robot was unfinished before fighting Samus, when it was destroyed. | ||
Ridley returned in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime}}'', revived as the cyborg "[[Meta Ridley]]". In this new form, Ridley oversaw the experiments of {{s|metroidwiki|Phazon}} on the wildlife of {{s|metroidwiki|Tallon IV}} aboard the [[Frigate Orpheon]]. This backfired, as the creatures mutated into {{s|metroidwiki|Parasite Queen}}s that escaped captivity and ransacked the ship. Meta Ridley encountered Samus aboard the frigate, fleeing to Tallon IV below while she gave pursuit. They then clashed at the {{s|metroidwiki|Artifact Temple}}, where the Chozo architecture turned on Meta Ridley and struck him with several lasers to the chest, knocking him into the {{s|metroidwiki|Impact Crater}}. | Ridley returned in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime}}'', revived as the cyborg "[[Meta Ridley]]".
