Forum:GF Trooper in Super Metroid

I was recently playing through super metroid and on my way to kraid I noticed something new.

On my way to fight kraid near the occurence of the leech-things (ulf-8). Once I ran past those beasties I noticed that once they ran away,

a humanoid wearing silver armor was there. It seems that these guys were feasting on him...!!!

I was wondering if anyone has any information on him at all... or if anyone knows anything about him

I am pretty interested!
