Bugfly



A bugfly (as named internally) is a small creature similar to an Earth bat. They appear in Metroid: Samus Returns only once, flying away in the background of Area 1 on SR388 the first time Samus enters the Chozo city. After this, they are never seen again. While one might assume these creatures could be Parabies, close examination of their in-game sprites prove that they are different creatures: bugflies have two black wings, while Parabies have "feathers" attached to their wings and always travel in swarms. The bugflies cannot attack or be attacked by Samus, and are one of several background creatures introduced in Samus Returns.
