Hopping Metroid

Hopping Metroids, while they share the name of Metroid, barely resemble Metroids at all. Phazon exposure has removed its ability to fly, replacing it with four legs. In addition, it has almost entirely removed the nuclei; the only indication is a small red, raspberry-like orb in the center of their head. Hopping Metroids attack by launching themselves at Samus.
