'''Metroids''' are the titular species of parasitic aliens from the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]. They were created by the [[metroidwiki:Chozo|Chozo]] to combat the [[metroidwiki:X Parasites|X Parasites]], though they eventually grew out of hand, and are now supposedly extinct thanks to the efforts of [[Samus Aran]].

A Metroid appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''; they also appear as enemies in Smash Run in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. When they appear, they float around the stage, latching on to players and inflicting damage for a time, similar to their series of origin.

|''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.''

|''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.''

|''First discovered on planet SR388, this floating life-form grows by absorbing the energy around it. It is incredibly durable but extremely weak to cold. In Smash Bros., a Metroid will grab a rival by the head and drain energy. If you get grabbed, shake it off by pressing left and right!''
