The Metroid is a species of extraterrestrial creature from the Metroid universe. Metroids are parasitic life forms that suck the life out of other living things to sustain themselves. This makes them a constant target for Samus's arch enemies, the Space Pirates.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

The Metroid itself appears in Melee, but only as a collectible trophy.

The Metroid features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Description

Metroid

"A parasitic life form that can absorb all types of energy, Metroids have strong resistance to most conventional weaponry. To defeat them, Samus Aran had to freeze them with Ice Beam shots and then
blast them with missiles. Mochtroids, which look like Metroids, are weaker, with fewer internal nuclei." (Metroid 08/89)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When a Metroid is released, it will latch onto a character's head and sap their health. It can be shaken off by moving about rapidly, upon which it may seek another victim. It moves in a rather inertial way (such as Super Sonic and Volt Tackle).

Trophy Info

A bioengineered life-form found on planet SR388. Metroids attach to organisms and drain life energy. The Galactic Federation commissions Samus to eliminate them, but Space Pirates try to harness their power. One of the few ways Samus can kill Metroids is by shooting them with the Ice Beam and then shattering them with missiles. The Metroid's cry is chilling and indescribable.
