The Baby Metroid is one of the deuteragonists who appeared in Metroid II: Return of Samus as well as its remake, Metroid: Samus Returns and reappears in Super Metroid. It is the only Metroid to be friendly around humans.
Its Good Ranking[]
Its Heroic Deeds[]
- The Baby Metroid is one of the only Metroids in existence to be very docile around humans, especially Samus the moment it met her after hatching.
- It is very protective of Samus, whom it views as its mother, and it joins her after an incident at SR388.
- When it realized that it was attacking Samus, it stops itself and floats away in shame for what it did.
- When Samus was at Mother Brain's mercy, the baby attacks and drains the latter of energy and restores Samus's energy before it was killed.
- In Metroid Fusion, the baby had a posthumous moment where its DNA was used by the scientists to be injected into an infected Samus to rid her of the X-Parasites, rendering her immune to the deadly organisms.
Why It Doesn't Stand Out[]
- Baby Metroid fails Metroid's high admirable standards to various allies of Samus who have contributed more to the cause.
- It primarily acts on predatorial instinct, which strongly suggests that it has moral agency issues.
- It has been shown to be very lethal towards its foes and doesn't hesitate to kill them without a second thought.
