{{char}} (サムス・アラン Samusu Aran?) is an intergalactic bounty hunter and the main protagonist of the Metroid series.

The daughter of Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran, she lost her parents during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L. Later, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes, where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police and served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich. Though she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, she was nonetheless hired by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Equipped with her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for accomplishing missions previously thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her repeated extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation. Having received an infusion of Metroid DNA to save her from an X infection, Samus is now the last "Metroid" in the galaxy.

Samus broke ground early in the gaming world when she debuted in the 1986 game Metroid. Originally players were under the impression that Samus was a male, as the English translation of the instruction manual used male pronouns for her.[5]

However, completing Metroid in under five hours revealed Samus to be a young woman.[6] Although Samus wears the Power Suit throughout most of the Metroid series, she traditionally removes it at the end of most games, often as a result of satisfying certain conditions such as completing the game quickly or with a high percentage of the game's items collected or even both.

Samus was born on the Earth colony K-2L, and after its destruction was raised on Zebes by the Chozo. Her residence has never been seen in the games, but has been depicted in comics and manga.

A fictional "Second Office of Trentesse" organization, mentioned in the Japanese Nintendo Official Guide Book for Super Metroid features a short profile of Samus.

Samus' personality has rarely been explored in-depth within the context of the games, a conscious decision by Nintendo to help the player insert themselves as the in-game character. However, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid: Other M are perhaps the most notable games in the series to give insight into Samus' personality, as well as other media formats such as comics and manga.

Samus glaring at Robot Chozo Soldier Samus' feelings are often expressed through her eyes, as seen here in Metroid Dread, when she glares at the Robot Chozo Soldier that has killed Quiet Robe.

Samus is a heroine of few words, and a fearsome warrior. She remains quiet, humble, and solemn despite her great accomplishments, and has devoted her life to maintaining peace in the galaxy. Her main enemies are the Space Pirates - especially Ridley, who was personally responsible for the death of her mother. Despite her tragic origins, Samus has been shown to have unparalleled willpower and resourcefulness, succeeding where thousands failed and stopping at nothing to save the galaxy from any threat that may arise.[7] Such is Samus' determination that she was even willing to sacrifice herself to prevent the spread of the body-snatching X Parasites.[8]

Although Samus works for the betterment of the galaxy and frequently collaborates with the Galactic Federation, she is a lone wolf at heart, only accepting their orders due to their common goals and bounties.[9] She has little respect for authority and dislikes being told what to do, only allowing such supervision from those she trusts such as Adam Malkovich, and rejecting others such as Raven Beak or even the Galactic Federation when their goals no longer intersected with hers.[10][11] In her youth, Samus had an especially strong rebellious streak due to her turbulent emotional state; this earned her the attention of her colleagues, resulting in Adam Malkovich developing the phrase "Any objections, Lady?" to acknowledge her at the end of briefings.[12]

Despite her reputation for combat, Samus is also known for her compassion, and has consistently stood up to secure the helpless and downtrodden. Three notable instances of this were when she volunteered to single-handedly save the Luminoth race from the brink of extinction, when she helped innocent Etecoons and a Dachora escape a self-destructing Zebes, and when she swore to Quiet Robe to put an end to Raven Beak's evil ambitions. In Metroid II, Samus bonded with a baby Metroid born in front of her eyes, and chose to spare it, possibly recalling her three-year-old self during the massacre on K-2L. She entrusted it to the Ceres Space Colony, expressing faith that the specimen might be used for good. When Samus witnessed the Metroid sacrifice itself to save her from Mother Brain, she was heartbroken for some time.

Witnessing her parents' deaths at the hands of Space Pirates left Samus with post-traumatic stress disorder, which manifested as a severe panic attack upon her first encounter with Ridley in adolescence.[13] She appears to have since learned to handle this trauma, and has rarely hesitated to do battle with her nemesis since. Upon learning that Ridley had survived their first battle on Zebes, Samus expressed only silent anger and wasted no time rushing to her Gunship to chase him to the planet Tallon IV.

Rodney Shoots the Afloralite Metroid Fusion's Japanese-only endings gave various brief insights into Samus' early life.

Bryan Walker said that he and his Retro Studios colleagues felt that Samus was akin to Boba Fett from Star Wars, but with a sense of humor.[14] In the Metroid Prime series, Samus was always animated as subdued, stoically walking into rooms, with intense movement coming during action scenes.[15] Yoshio Sakamoto said in an interview that with each Metroid game, he has gained a deeper understanding of who Samus is, and what she is thinking in each of her missions.[16] According to Yosuke Hayashi, Samus is like a daughter to Sakamoto.[17]

During the events of Metroid: Other M, Samus was in an especially vulnerable state following the death of the Metroid hatchling, the destruction of her childhood home Zebes, and an unexpected reunion with her former CO, Adam Malkovich. Due to this, the game is rife with inner monologues by Samus to share her angst with the player. Desperate to prove she had overcome her old habits of being rebellious and insecure, Samus willingly placed herself back under Adam's command on the BOTTLE SHIP in an attempt to regain his trust.[18] When facing the cloned Ridley, Samus realized she was not over her insecurities after all, causing her to enter a state of shock (likely a relapsed PTSD attack). Afterwards, she briefly relapsed into rebelling against Adam, even believing MB's lie that he endorsed the BOTTLE SHIP's Metroid program, but upon gaining full confirmation of Adam's trust outside Sector Zero, she completely regained her composure.[19] Metroid: Other M's unique depiction of Samus garnered significant criticism for being perceived as inconsistent with her more independent personality in other Metroid games, as well as the questionable implications of her submissive behavior towards Adam throughout the game.

Age Samus facing Amorbis Samus facing Amorbis in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Samus's precise age has never been revealed, with the Japanese Metroid Prime site even stating that her age is unknown.

In Metroid: Volume 1, Samus is 3 years old during the K-2L attack[20] and 14 years old when she leaves Zebes and joins the Galactic Federation Police;[21] the final chapters of Metroid: Volume 2 leading into her Zero Mission are set an unspecified "few years later"[22] and therefore could take place during her late teens or early twenties. However, Other M concept art states that she is "about 4-6 years old" around the time of the K-2L attack,[23] and "approximately 15-17 years old" in her Federation military period.[24]

While non-canonical, the Nintendo Comics System comic The Coming of a Hero refers to Samus as the youngest police officer to become a Star-Tracker. The Nintendo Comics System adaptation of Captain N: The Game Master features the teenage Kevin Keene as Samus's love interest; this could indicate that Samus may have been intended to be in her late teens or early twenties in the original Metroid, which would roughly line up with the timeline presented in the Magazine Z manga.

In an interview in Nintendo Official Guide Book for Super Metroid, when asked for a secret that only he knew about the character, programmer Isamu Kubota claimed that Samus is said to be in her late twenties.[25]

Samus's relationship with the infant Metroid is comparable to Ripley's relationship with a surviving LV-426 colonist named Rebecca "Newt" Jorden. Like the Baby, Newt dies in the sequel, Alien3, and like Samus, Ripley grieves her death. Unlike Ripley, Samus has never shown to be traumatized by the Metroids she faces on her various missions, with her psychological scars instead caused by her childhood encounter with Ridley.

In licensed Metroid material outside of the games, Samus's personality is largely left up to the writer in question. As such, her personality has varied considerably between major publications. The Magazine Z manga depicts her as suffering from childhood trauma and often thinking heavily about her role and the role of the Pirates. In the Captain N: The Game Master comics, Samus is depicted as brash and money-hungry (as just about any bounty hunter would be), though she is willing to compete fairly with Princess Lana for the protagonist Kevin Keene's feelings, suggesting her behavior is something of a "tough-guy" act.

While Samus does not have a royal heritage in any of the games, she was depicted as the queen of Garbage World in A King of Shreds and Patches in Captain N, and Anthony Higgs gives her the nickname "Princess" in Metroid: Other M (although in concept artwork James Pierce says "Hey, Princess!" likely referring to Samus). Non-canonically, she is also depicted sitting on the throne in the King Conan Diorama in Corruption. This would seem to indicate that she became an empress to the Reptilicus, although this is never depicted in-game.

{{char}} is curvaceous and light-skinned with a muscular physique under the armor, though her superhuman abilities may be accountable to her muscle/bone density given her hybrid genetics and augmentations. Her hair color is blonde, her eye color is blue with a green tinge (fully green in Other M), and she appears to be Caucasian. Samus typically wears her blond hair in a modified ponytail with a red hairband, with a lock on either side. The exact hairstyle, however, can vary from game to game.

{{char}} Varia suit Super Metroid Player's Guide 1994 From the Super Metroid Players' Guide

According to the Super Metroid Players' Guide, she is 6 feet 3 inches tall (roughly 190 cm) and weighs 198 pounds (roughly 90 kilograms); however, the manual of Metroid II: Return of Samus attributes these measurements to her Power Suit instead.[27] Some games, such as Metroid Prime 2: Echoes[28] and Metroid Prime Remastered,[29] show Samus to be the same height with or without the Power Suit; other games, such as Metroid: Other M, show Samus to be significantly shorter without her Power Suit.[30]

Samus's appearance varied widely in the early games. In the original Metroid, her hair was colored brown, though it would turn green once the player acquired the Varia Suit. If Metroid II: Return of Samus was played with a Super Game Boy, Game Boy Player, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP, her hair would be miscolored red. It was not until Super Metroid that she officially became blond, although the non-canon comic and some concept art colored her hair purple. In addition, the game book Metroid: Zebes Invasion Order depicted her hair color as largely being black. On a similar note, the Child Endings for Metroid Fusion, the Magazine Z Manga prequel to Metroid, as well as the flashbacks in Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid: Other M, and Metroid Dread indicated she was a natural blonde, although Other M did imply she may have dyed her hair blonde after leaving the Federation during development (see below).

ZeroSuitSamus {{char}} as she appears in Metroid: Samus Returns.

Similarly, Samus's hairstyle has varied in the early games and other media. In the original Metroid, her hairstyle was depicted as wavy and reaching just beyond her shoulder blades in the ending, while in Metroid II and Super Metroid, it was depicted as straight with a part on the left side of her forehead and bangs, respectively, with the former only reaching her neck and the latter reaching her shoulders. In Fusion, she has two bangs, one of which partially covers her left eye slightly, and is depicted as long enough to reach down her back. In addition, in Zebes Invasion Order, Samus's hair, similar to Fusion was depicted as long enough to reach down her back. Samus's signature hairstyle debuted in Metroid: Zero Mission, and has been present in every Metroid game released since. The only exception is Metroid Prime Hunters which, though it retained Samus's ponytail, lacked the two locks of hair on each side of her head. Previously, Samus had been depicted with a ponytail in Metroid Prime and (briefly) at the end of Metroid II and Super Metroid.

Before the credits, Samus is briefly depicted with her hair down, the first instance of this in 3-D. With her hair down, she has locks of hair hanging over her shoulders. After Anthony steps in, the lock over her right shoulder is no longer there. She then ties her hair back into her ponytail, mirroring the scenes in Metroid II and Super Metroid where she unties the ponytail. A development screenshot pictured her young appearance with black hair, which given the intended focus on the Japanese audience as well as Samus's rebellious past being focused on, may have been intended to imply that Samus dyed her hair blonde as an act of rebellion (as the act is considered such in Japan due to its associations with Western/American culture).

Face Sam face Samus's face, seen through her visor in Prime.

Samus's face structure has varied across the Metroid franchise. Metroid, Metroid II, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion gave her a wider face and larger eyes than later incarnations. In particular, her appearance for Super Metroid was stated to be based on the American actress Kim Basinger. As stated above, Samus's Super Metroid comics appearance was a combination of Leia Organa and Ellen Ripley, and therefore their actresses Carrie Fisher and Sigourney Weaver.[26]

In Metroid Prime, Samus's jaw was squarer, her eyes deeper-set and her lips more defined, giving her a Caucasian appearance. Her face can be seen in gameplay when certain flashes of light, such as explosions, Super Missiles being fired or enemy projectiles impact close to Samus. Samus's face was modeled separately and implemented with a diffuse texture. The idea to add her face may have come from Chris Voellmann. This was popular enough with the Retro Studios team that they sought to make Samus's face appear more often in the sequels, such as in Corruption, where it is visible whenever the Scan Visor is active.[31] Unused animations of Samus making various facial expressions exist in Prime; these can be viewed here. Players who witnessed the face effect when playing a demo of Prime at E3 2002 reacted very positively to it.[32] Metroid Prime Remastered changes Samus's face from the original game, causing it to more closely resemble later depictions.[33]

A-Zero Mission-Art10 {{char}} as she appears in Metroid: Zero Mission

Zero Mission gave her higher cheekbones and a thinner face than previous installments, and that template has been the basis for every game since. Echoes' incarnation is possibly her most panned appearance, due to the in-game model suffering from the uncanny valley. Prime Hunters, on the other hand, gave Samus a face that appeared to be a blend of Zero Mission's and Prime's depiction. Samus retained the deep-set eyes, traditional ponytail, and fuller face from Prime, but also had Zero Mission's higher cheekbones. Corruption's is closer to that of Zero Mission, with a thinner, more stylized face. Samus Returns gave Samus a slightly angular face, along with slightly rounder eyes. In other media, such as Zebes Invasion Order, Samus's face was rendered with a similar design to various Japanese anime, such as Speed Racer.

SamusAran {{char}} as she appears in Metroid: Other M

On the other hand, Metroid: Other M is perhaps the largest change Samus has ever had to her appearance since Zero Mission. She is depicted for the first time with short hair and green eyes, with subtle facial features reminiscent of Asian descent. While her adult appearance still gives her a ponytail, the two locks on either side of her head have been heavily reduced in size, her bangs have been altered and her ponytail has been moved to the nape of the neck. She also has the beauty mark that Yoshio Sakamoto alluded to in the Super Metroid developer interview,[25] under the left side of her lip. A mole was marked in concept art for Metroid Prime, but was not added to the model.[34] The mark is retained in Metroid: Samus Returns concept art[35], and her Metroid Dread model.[36]

{{char}}'s infusion with Chozo DNA (later revealed to be a combination of both Thoha and Mawkin DNA), as well as her warrior training since her childhood, has turned her into a superior athlete. Her training began at the age of three and continued up until she was fourteen years old. As a result of the Chozo's influence, Samus is capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. She also demonstrates high levels of physical strength, as shown when she performs feats like lifting and tossing around creatures much larger than herself, such as the Vorash or Ghalmanian. She is strong enough to destroy robotic enemies such as a Shakernaut with enough strikes, or physically deflect giant creatures such Kraid swinging his arm at her, even being able to pry and hold open his mouth all while he trying to bite down on her. Samus is also more adaptive to foreign alien environments that normal humans cannot survive in, such as the majority of Zebes and Elysia.

Samus also demonstrates good sharpshooting skills. She is an excellent marksman, with an incredible aim, and is tremendously deadly in combat. She exhibits prodigious puzzle-solving and hacking skills. She also possesses a lithe figure that allows her to crawl through tunnels and gaps that would normally require the usage of the Morph Ball. All of these are, of course, augmented further by her Power Suit.

Despite preferring her Arm Cannon to deal with most threats, Samus has also demonstrated some proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, using her considerable strength and athleticism to great advantage. Examples of her skills include effectively parrying and disarming X Parasite Chozo Soldiers attacking with their spears, or deflecting Raven Beak's strikes, often Counter Attacking with martial arts of her own. She is even shown capable of breaking out of being grabbed and rendered nearly helpless by powerful foes such as an E.M.M.I., avoiding a fatal strike at just the right moment and using precisely placed kicks to temporarily disable them. She is quite effective at defending herself, usually swinging her Arm Cannon in an upward arc or using cartwheel kicks to stop an enemy's advance, stunning them and leaving them wide open for a follow-up shot. While usually fighting back defensively, she will also go on the offensive, favoring a dashing uppercut that can outright kill smaller creatures or at least injure larger ones, even being able to eliminate them as well if she continues to strike at them. Samus has also proven to be an effective grappler, wrestling much larger opponents into submission so that she can either finish them off with a point blank shot or at least cause significant damage.

Metroid other m artwork Samus counter attacks a Zebesian Space Pirate with a kick, as seen in this Metroid: Other M art.

The extent of Samus' training after she joined the Federation Police is currently unknown, but it is clear that the Federation has made one major augmentation to her abilities: her infusion with Metroid DNA. This infusion was done in a last-ditch attempt to save her life after she was infected with the X Parasites, and thus it was not completely known at the time what the side effects would be.

As a result of the infusion, Samus gained immunity to X Parasites, as well as the ability to absorb them for energy. However, she also inherited the Metroid's crippling weakness to cold, though this disability was toned down after downloading the Varia Suit upgrade and later negated altogether after she absorbed the essence of the SA-X. However, Samus did not inherit the Metroids' ability to float or to absorb bio-energy from life forms beyond the X Parasites.

This later changed on ZDR when the Metroid DNA in her body begins to fully awaken and allows her to absorb bio-energy, however, it also results in a rapid transformation that turns Samus into a unique form of Metroid/human/Chozo hybrid. She also ends up displaying the ability to absorb energy from machinery as a result of the aforementioned metamorphosis. This eventually had nearly disastrous consequences where she was unable to pilot her ship out of ZDR without draining its energy, until she absorbed the X Parasite of Quiet Robe, a Thoha Chozo, re-stabilizing her DNA. A large part of the reason behind the sudden changes on ZDR was because of her encounter with the Mawkin leader Raven Beak, as Metroids were programmed to react violently to Mawkin, although Raven Beak implied that she would have undergone the changes immediately after the Vaccine "Metroid" procedure earlier had she not possessed Thoha DNA beforehand.

Samus' most notable piece of equipment is her Power Suit, which has become virtually synonymous with her own identity. This suit was given to her during her time with the Chozo and was built to be fused with her mind, body, and spirit. The original Power Suit was destroyed when Samus crash-landed on Zebes after an ambush by Space Pirates, but her duel with the Ruins Test gave her a new, upgraded suit, which is able to absorb dozens of upgrades of alien origin. The Power Suit's main purpose is to protect Samus from adverse environments and enemy fire, and it can be upgraded to dozens of other forms, each with its own different advantages. While some suits are stronger than others and have different abilities, they all maintain the same basic shape and usage.

Zero Suit Beneath the Power Suit, Samus wears a skin-tight bodysuit known as the Zero Suit. Because of its negligible weight, this suit allows Samus to perform at top physical performance level and gives some weak protection from enemy fire. She also owns an emergency pistol known as the Paralyzer, which auto-charges to fire stunning shots, though it has no lethal capacity.

Samus's Gunship For transportation, Samus uses her Gunship, which usually resembles her helmet. Samus has been seen in five Starships and Gunships of unique design: Her first Starship design was used and destroyed on her initial Zero Mission, while the second Gunship was used in her mission to Tallon IV and the mission to the Tetra Galaxy. She has had other two ships custom-made for her in Aliehs III's shipyard: Her modular Gunship used in the waning days of the Phazon crisis, which combined Chozo and Federation technology, and the iconic Gunship for which she is best known. The latter Gunship model was first seen in the mission to Aether, and stayed with Samus until its destruction in SR388's asteroid field. After its destruction, Samus was assigned a new Starship from the Federation with an onboard A.I. for her investigation of the BSL.

It is currently unknown if/how her first two ships and the "iconic" ship are related, although information on the Metroid Prime website suggests that her Gunship in that game was the same one as her Zero Mission's Starship, perhaps salvaged from the wreck on Zebes.

Misplacing Upgrades A curious aspect of the Metroid series is that Samus begins most games with a minimal amount of equipment, even after accumulating a sizable number of upgrades in the preceding game that would help her on subsequent missions. This is evidently a necessary gameplay mechanic needed for every title in the series, but it is unknown why this occurs so frequently in-universe, and has become a subject of humor over the years.

Main article: Physical amnesia Later games in the series have presented plot-related explanations for this: In games such as Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Samus starts out with a considerable amount of gear but is quickly stripped of most of it by attacks or unfortunate incidents. Samus then regains these abilities over the course of the game, in addition to a vast array of other upgrades that expand her arsenal well beyond its initial size. Additionally, Samus seems to relinquish most of her upgrades at the end of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, explaining why she only has her basic abilities by the time of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force is the first Metroid game where Samus is not the main protagonist or even playable, but plays a role as a secondary character, aiding the Federation Force. After the Space Pirates are discovered in the Bermuda System, the Galactic Federation asks Samus to investigate their activities. She is briefly seen flying over Excelcion, and she destroys one of the missile factories on Talvania while the Force destroys another. During M10: Black Hole, Samus contacts the Force directly to warn them of a fifth Missile Transport ship, which they destroy. She also assists the Force after the Rohkor Beetle battle, using her Ship Missiles to finish it off. After M14: Tremor, the Force mysteriously loses all contact with Samus. A Decoy item in the game deploys a scarecrow-like model of her to distract Space Pirates.

In M22: Convergence, it is revealed that Samus was captured by the Space Pirates and brought aboard their battleship Doomseye. During the Federation Force's assault on the Doomseye, the pirates take control of Samus' suit, use the amplification beam on her to increase her size, and force her to fight the Federation Force in her Morph Ball form, serving as the game's final boss. After she is defeated, she reverts back to her normal size, freed from the Pirates' control, but is then buried under falling debris. She survives and later assists the Federation Force in escaping the battleship's destruction, rescuing them with her Gunship when they are sucked into the vacuum of space. At the end of the mission, she commends the Federation Force and looks forward to their future efforts.

Battle “ What?! {{char}} is fighting us?! I never thought I'd say this, but... You've got to take Samus out! „ —General Alex Miles

Samus spends the entire fight in gigantic Morph Ball form, laying large destructible Bombs in sets of three and attempting to ram the Marine with the Boost Ball. She constantly rolls around the field but does not actively chase the Marines.

Samus is surrounded by a purple shield that negates all the Marines' attacks, although she can be frozen with the Freeze Shot. However, the shield does not cover the green cores on her sides, which if shot enough times disables the shield and stops her movement. Once the shield is down, the Marines must shoot and push her into the electric fields at the edges of the room, similar to Blast Ball. After enough damage, Samus regains her shield, repeating the process. Using the Scan Bolt on Samus can make her more floaty, and thus easier to shoot into electric fields.

Once she loses all her health, Samus shrinks slightly but regains all her health; the process must be repeated two more times. After one full depletion, Samus will start using her Spider Ball to roll across the ceiling, eventually stopping at the center to drop down to the ground and produce a shockwave. After the second full depletion, Samus rolls much faster, drops larger red Bombs, and also lays Bombs while using Boost Ball and Spider Ball. Her Bombs can be destroyed to get AUX ammo. The red Bombs have a large blast radius when they explode. The mission's bonus objective is to never take damage from Samus' Bombs.
