− | '''Kraid''' | + | Not a lot is known about the origins of '''Kraid''', but he has long been one of the chief guardians used by the [[Space Pirates]]. His domain has always been Brinstar, although originally a part of Brinstar was named after him. He is an incredibly large creature, far larger than any of Samus's other foes. The origin of his species is unknown and is likely he originates from another planet or was bio-engineered by the Space Pirates. |

− | + | In appearance he is quite like a upright dinosaur that walks on two legs with a long tail as support. His stomach area has three odd 'holes' that are capable of producing long 'spikes' that can be propelled out. His head is lined with a few horns forming a crown on the top of his head as well as one on the end of his snout. Interestingly, he has three eyes rather than just one. His two hands have only two single fingers and are often used offensively. | |
− | [[Samus Aran]] | + | [[Samus Aran]] first met Kraid on her first mission on [[Zebes]] in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. Kraid's position was rather important and his defeat was necessary to access Tourian. Samus was able to take advantage of Kraid's one weakspot, his mouth. When Samus Aran returned again to Zebes in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', Kraid now had a smaller 'Mini-Kraid' copy outside of his lair. Samus Aran was able to quickly defeat this, but found the real Kraid just beyond. Again Samus was able to defeat Kraid by firing missiles in his mouth. Afterwards, he presumably was killed in the explosion of Zebes. |

He was shown as weak and runty, and during her escape from Prisonworld Samus coerced Kraid (who was also a prisoner) into acting as a decoy during her escape. He also made a cameo appearance with Ridley in a flashback of Samus's in Issue 5. |
