Glider

Gliders are docile, airborne creatures found in Metroid Prime. They have a unique magnetic signature attuned to common Grapple Beam technology, allowing them to act as a Grapple Point. The Glider has spawned the sport of "Glider Riding", which involves attaching to a Glider and attempting to ride it as long as possible.

In-game, Gliders are found in the Phendrana Drifts. They are used to traverse gaps which cannot be crossed with only the Space Jump Boots.
