Tripper

Trippers are one of the few harmless creatures found in Super Metorid. They live in the Crateria and Norfair sections of Zebes. They fly in a repetitive horizontal line in the air, and release a small jet of blue flames to propel them on thier way. They are very useful for reaching difficult places due to them having a small platform on thier backs, allowing Samus to ride on them. Some of them however have less strength than others and, when jumped onto, will slowly begin to loose altitude, making them sometimes quite tricky to use. These creatures cannot be destroyed my any of Samus' equipment.
