Ridley, also known by the identifier '''Geoform 187''', is one of the main antagonists of the ''Metroid'' series, the other being [[Mother Brain]]. His appearance has varied slightly across the series, but in each game he is a large, yet slender, 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 [[Space Pirate]] general that is sapient and, as shown in the comics, capable of speech.

Resembling a skeletal alien-like pterodactyl, the right name of Ridley's species is unknown. That's not all, but even the Metroid Wiki on Fandom states that the name of Ridley's species is a mystery.<ref>https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Ridley</ref> However, in non-canon media, Ridley is referred to as a "Space Dragon", but whether or not he is canonically a part of that race remains unconfirmed.

Ridley is directly connected to [[Samus Aran]]'s past and present. In the ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}'', he gained enough favor with the Space Pirates that he became one of their highest ranking officials. He was the leader of an ambush of an Afloraltite mining expedition on {{s|metroidwiki|K-2L}}, where Samus happened to be. He considered her cute, but decided to kill her out of mercy. However, he accidentally killed {{s|metroidwiki|Virginia Aran}}, Samus' mother, when she jumped between the two. {{s|metroidwiki|Rodney Aran}}, Samus' father, then detonated the afloraltite, killing him and several space pirates. Ridley and the survivors were forced to flee.
