Samus Aran (Your Doberman Bitch)

1. #1Samusconstant

   Keys: Samus

   Samus Aran (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. However, completing Metroid in under five hours revealed Samus to be a young woman. 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. 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 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. Such is Samus' determination that she was even willing to sacrifice herself to prevent the spread of the body-snatching X Parasites. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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[ and 14 years old when she leaves Zebes and joins the Galactic Federation Police; the final chapters of Metroid: Volume 2 leading into her Zero Mission are set an unspecified "few years later" 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, and "approximately 15-17 years old" in her Federation military period. 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. Samus Aran is slender 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. 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. Some games, such as Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime Remastered, 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. Samus Aran'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. 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.

2. #2Samus's Equipmentconstant

   Keys: Samus

   Power Suit: "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"

3. #3Samus's Gunshipconstant

   Keys: Samus

   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.

4. #4Ridleyconstant

   Keys: Ridley

   Ridley (リドリー Ridorī?) is a high-ranking Space Pirate and one of the most recurring characters in the Metroid series, appearing as a boss in over half of the games released thus far. He closely resembles a European dragon with glowing eyes and pteranodon-like traits. He is the archenemy of Samus Aran, a status he gained over the years since his prominent role in Super Metroid; in addition to this, he also became widely regarded as the main villain of the entire franchise despite never being the primary antagonist of any game. Ridley's actual role is that of a secondary antagonist where, depending on the game, he answers to a higher power and/or his presence is overshadowed by a greater threat. Species: Unknown (space dragon in non-canon media). Homeworld: Zebes. Born: Prior to all events of the Metroid timeline, Reborn through cloning in Metroid: Other M. Death: Super Metroid, Metroid: Other M (clone), Metroid Fusion (X Parasite clone). Gender: Male. Hair: None. Eye color: Yellow, orange, yellow-green (varies between appearances). Affiliation: Space Pirate military commander. Sadistic and bloodthirsty, Ridley delights in death and destruction, and was responsible for the massacre of the colony K-2L. Since then, he and Samus have clashed several times, with Samus usually emerging the victor. But Ridley's brutality is matched only by his resilience, and he regularly returns from apparent death to do battle with Samus once more. Indeed, some of his fights conclude with his whole body exploding, yet in-game lore in the Metroid Prime series and Metroid: Other M state he somehow survived these violent defeats until Super Metroid. Therefore, all his incarnations chronologically seen before Other M, despite varying traits, are the same individual with the exception of Mecha Ridley, and later appearances consist of him being brought back via cloning methods. His proficiency for survival is also displayed in the manga: following the destruction of his flagship and its wreckage falling on top of Ridley, he reappears unscathed years later, claiming to have healed his wounds by consuming the bodies of the dead humans in K-2L. As such, he is fittingly referred to as the Cunning God of Death (狡猾の死神?) in his Zero Mission official art on the Japanese website. Ridley's homeworld and the true name of his species is unknown. Despite being beast-like in both appearance and behavior within the games, Ridley's position as a Space Pirate leader has been confirmed since back in Super Metroid's instruction booklet, with the Metroid Prime manual and in-game scans further describing him as a mainstay and enforcer of the Pirate armies. The Magazine Z manga depicts him as being highly intelligent and even capable of speech. He also successfully built a robot in his own likeness, according to the co-creator of the Metroid series. Ridley is often depicted as a comrade of Kraid in supplementary materials such as official merchandise, artwork, media and the manga, while the games themselves vaguely reference this through their statues. Ridley has been present in all but five Metroid games - Metroid II: Return of Samus, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Metroid Dread. Minor references to him can still be found in several of these via his associated theme in their demos, cosmetic Paint Jobs based on him and images of the character present in galleries. Ridley is usually the penultimate or ante-penultimate boss in the games he's featured in, and half of them contain multiple battles against him and/or some manifestation of him. His sole appearance as a final boss is in Metroid: Samus Returns, the remake of Metroid II. In Metroid for the NES and Famicom, Ridley is one of the two bosses on Zebes who must be defeated to access Tourian. He awaits in a chamber in Mini-Boss Hideout II. In his debut, Ridley is approximately the same height as Samus but his depiction as a dragon is firmly established, and many of his traits were kept for his later refined design: a tail with an arrow-shaped end, four clawed limbs with a pair of wings, a hunched back with a bent neck, an elongated head with an equally long mouth from which fireballs spew out of. Ridley's sprite has purple skin, while the side-tips of his tail, wing membranes, claws, teeth and eyes are all green. Official art in Japan features him with blue skin while other parts of his body are either white or a lighter shade of blue; other than the mentioned color discrepancy, the art closely matches the look of his sprite. Curiously, Ridley's American artwork gives his head an anatomy that is vastly dissimilar to his in-game appearance and far more alien, featuring multiple ridges across the front with three capsule-shaped eyes in between, with his main pair of eyes relocated near the back of his skull and a toothless, leech-like mouth on the opposite end. Some Japanese art includes a single ridge or horn below his eyes. In order of the games' release dates, this is Ridley's second appearance in the franchise. The foundations of his NES/Famicom appearance is intact and expanded upon, resulting in a design that would remain consistent in nearly all of his subsequent portrayals, with few alterations. His entire body is covered in scaly skin, his head has even more pterodactyloid features (including a head-crest), he has didactyl feet and his tail is far more prominent, though his physique is grotesquely emaciated which exposes his ribcage and musculature just beneath his flesh. While artwork shows him with red skin and orange eyes, he has purple skin and glowing yellow eyes in-game, however he'll gradually turn red as he receives damage. Not much is known about Ridley within the games, as most of his time on screen consists of being in combat with Samus while rampaging and roaring like an animal. This makes him an ideal killing machine to fight on the front lines of the Space Pirate forces and likely why he is frequently seen alone. However, there are nonetheless glimpses of intelligence and deviousness. A cutscene in Metroid: Zero Mission showed him sitting quietly aboard the Space Pirate Mother Ship, exhibiting self-control. Another moment of self-control is in Super Metroid, where he hid in the shadows and left the Baby in plain view for Samus to find before making his presence known to her, at which point he gave her ample time to strike first while he stared her down. It is also implied he activated the Ceres Colony's Self-Destruct System. In Metroid Prime, Ridley bombed the Cradle on Tallon IV specifically to prevent Samus from accessing and destroying the source of Phazon within the Impact Crater. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, he attacked Samus on Norion when she was traversing through ducts in her Morph Ball form to limit her defensive options. Later, he made sure to have Samus fall down the Generator C shaft with him to ensure she would at least fall to her death if he was beaten. Interestingly, Ridley's cunning seems to be embedded on a genetic level, as his clone, who was feral as a result of lacking civilized upbringing, was nevertheless capable of manipulating or provoking fellow bioweapons into attacking the 07th Platoon while he focused on Samus. His capacity to reason was shown during his fight with Samus on SR388, where despite clearly being aware of the Baby's role in aiding Samus late into the fight, he made no attempt at killing it with the implication that he still needed to capture it alive for the Space Pirates on Zebes. Additionally, if she were to inflict enough damage to him at Ceres he will preemptively flee with the Metroid, demonstrating he can assess the situation and disengages from a losing battle to avoid jeopardizing the plans of his organization. Ridley is also shown to be prideful and to have a sadistic sense of humor. He had Mecha Ridley created in his image, displaying narcissism.[3] His bloodthirsty tendencies were indicated in a Pirate Data scan explaining his reconstruction as Meta Ridley, where the crew stated that Ridley becoming the mainstay of security was "a job he will certainly relish."[4] His sadism also manifests in his clone when he toys with the emotionally shocked Samus using the sharp-end of his tail as holds her in his hands. This characterization is also displayed in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; in his third victory pose, he is seen from behind raking the ground with his claws as if eviscerating a downed opponent, before grinning wickedly at the camera. In his character trailer, A Piercing Screech, Ridley twirls Mario's cap on one finger to mock his victim and taunt the latter's companion, Samus. In addition, one of the gameplay scenes in the same trailer has a brief hint towards his sadistic nature where, after using Skewer on Link, he proceeded to crouch and watch as Link keeled over. Because of this capacity for pride, Ridley has developed a bitter rivalry with Samus Aran due to her constant interference and his various defeats at her hands. He is shown to make spiteful jabs at her, such as leaving the Baby's empty capsule in the adjacent room behind him to ensure he gets the last laugh if she defeats him. His pride and hatred has sometimes been a detriment as well: Ridley's final ambush on Norion leads to both him and Samus falling down a pit but instead of flying away and leaving her to die, he tries to kill her himself during the free-fall and consequently suffers injuries that make him incapable of stopping Rundas from rescuing her. It's also implied that his hatred of Samus may be rooted as genetic memory, due to his clone being especially eager to kill Samus, with the Mystery Creature's Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS hinting that its antagonism was rooted in Ridley's murder of Samus's family. His hatred of Samus is given a reference with his Final Smash Plasma Scream, where he always attacks her Gunship irrespective of whether Samus herself is one of the fighters launched into it. Ridley also displays a foul temper and an arrogant belief that nothing can defeat him. He seems to hold a grudge against Samus for her deceased father's role in the massive failure of Ridley's raid on K2-L. He also refers to Samus's existence when meeting her for the first time since the K-2L raid as a "nightmare", implying that his hatred for Samus stemmed also from the fact that she survived the massacre at all. He, like many Space Pirates, also believes in the superiority of certain races over others, counting himself among the privileged elites and seeing the "lower" races such as humans as pests to exterminate. Interestingly, Ridley grudgingly shows respect to those who are natural leaders, such as when Gray Voice ordered the Pirates to their battle stations; Ridley, taken aback, smirked at being told by Gray Voice to attend to his job and sarcastically addressed him as "Sir Military Commander" as he left. Ridley is a cunning and brutal warrior. His most recurring ability is his plasma breath, which can take the form of rolling fireballs or short-ranged plumes of flame. While fighting hand-to-hand, Ridley slashes with his long claws and bites with his giant teeth. His nimble tail has a razor-sharp blade at the end, which he uses to slice or impale targets from afar. He is an adept flier whose wings let him move through the air at incredible speeds to outrun and ambush opponents. He can even fly through outer space to an unknown extent, able to at least fly from the Frigate Orpheon to Tallon IV unaided (it remains unseen if he flew from the Ceres Space Colony to Zebes unaided or not). One of Ridley's signature combat techniques is grabbing victims with his superior strength, able to hold Samus in one claw for point-blank plasma blasts or to bash and scrape her along surfaces.

5. #5K-2Lconstant

   Keys: Samus

   K-2L is a planet and Earth colony on which Samus Aran lived at the age of 3, along with her parents, Rodney and Virginia Aran. K-2L was an important planet for the Galactic Federation, as it had large reserves of Afloraltite. A Rabbit-Squirrel named Pyonchi lived on this planet, and is the only known native creature. The actual planet is "neighboring" Zebes, according to the Metroid Prime instruction manual. While Samus was living on planet K-2L, Ridley and his Space Pirates attacked it, destroying the colony and leaving Samus the only survivor. The Chozo intercepted the colony's distress signal and rushed over, rescuing Samus just in time. Her mother was killed by Ridley like the rest while her father sacrificed himself to detonate the Afloraltite reserves the Pirates had stolen. This was the incident that led to Samus Aran's hatred of Space Pirates, as well as her PTSD regarding Ridley.

6. #6Zebesconstant

   Keys: Samus

   Zebes was a planet in orbit around the star FS-176 and habitat of the devious Zebesian Space Pirates and Mother Brain. Zebes was the locational setting of the original Metroid, its enhanced remake, Metroid: Zero Mission, and Super Metroid. According to Metroid Prime, Zebes had a mass of 4.8 trillion teratons and was in the FS-176 system. Samus Aran, the famed Bounty Hunter was raised on Zebes by the Chozo after her home on the Earth colony K-2L was taken over by the Space Pirates. Mass: 4.8 trillion teratons, 4.8x1024 kilograms, 4.974x1024 kilograms. Class: Class XIX planet, Class 5B. Size: 11,700 km diameter. Equatorial radius: 5201.156 km. Atmosphere: Presumably oxygen, as Samus Aran can breathe safely here without her Power Suit. Distinct features: Massive hollow crust due to Urthic ore. Zebes had a vast network of underground caverns and labyrinths that led deep into the planet. A deep cavernous area in the planet known as Brinstar seemed to be the home of more than 60% of the planet's wildlife. Brinstar was home to a dense forest, yet the vegetation did not seem to have anything to photosynthesize. It can be said that the plants only needed water, or that the majority were carnivorous as indicated by the foliage in Kraid's Lair. It is also possible that Brinstar plants use chemosynthesis. Another oddity lies in the existence of huge deposits of water just below the surface. Labeled Maridia, the water from this realm spiraled in all directions, eating away at the land and creating huge and sometimes dangerously vast mazes of water. The ground "liquified" in some areas and formed deadly quicksand traps leading deeper into the planet. Crateria was the crust of Zebes. It was a bleak and rocky area that was constantly drenched by acid rain. This rain would affect bioforms not able to adapt to the harsh atmosphere (Samus Aran being an exception). There was also a Wrecked Ship that had landed in a pool on Crateria long ago, arriving with the first Chozo civilization on the planet. While they lived on the planet, the Chozo had constructed a Planetary Protection Shield to defend themselves from attack. However, it was later disabled by the Space Pirates with a micro black hole.

7. #7Chozoconstant

   Keys: Samus

   The Chozo (鳥人族 Chōjinzoku?, Bird-Person Race) were an ancient, mysterious and highly advanced species of sage-like avian sapients that inhabited several planets in the cosmos, including Zebes, Elysia, SR388, Tallon IV, ZDR, and possibly others. Although the eventual fate of the race as a whole is unknown, countless ruins and technological wonders are littered throughout the many planets they once inhabited. The Chozo are also responsible for the creation of both the Metroids and Mother Brain; these both later posed a threat to galactic civilization, though they were both originally created for peaceful reasons. Size: Taller than adult humans. Known habitats: Chozodia, Brinstar, Norfair, Crateria, Maridia, Wrecked Ship, Chozo Ruins, Tallon Overworld, Phendrana Drifts, Magmoor Caverns, Impact Crater, SkyTown, Surface, Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4, Area 5, Area 6, Area 7, Phase 9, Ferenia. Known worlds: Zebes, Tallon IV, Elysia, SR388, ZDR. Affiliated with: Galactic Federation. Color(s): Copper, yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple, brown, silver, gold, white, black, and grey. Distinctions: Bird-like head, bipedal. Notable individuals: Old Bird, Grey Voice, Platinum Chest, Dryn, Chozo Searcher, Raven Beak, Quiet Robe, Samus Aran (human enhanced with Chozo DNA). The Chozo are a humanoid alien species that possesses avian traits, such as feathers, beaks, and talons. Long ago, the species used to have a pair of wings that enabled flight on their backs; Raven Beak still possessed such wings, although it is unknown whether these were artificial replacements. The Chozo are fairly tall among various sapients, easily dwarfing a grown human. The Chozo were known to possess the most advanced technology and greatly advanced fighting strength. They also had the ability to survive in environments that would be toxic to humans.
