Rhedogian



Unidentified Life Form 46 is a new creature in Metroid: Other M. It is black in color and appears to have multiple arms. Samus is seen in a trailer firing the Wave Beam at it and is aided by another GF Soldier.

It is first encountered alone atop an elevator in the Cryosphere after fighting off seven Wave Beam-equipped Zebesians. It can fire a spray of missiles, use its arms to grab the elevator railings and propel itself around, and can charge and fire a massive Zero Laser-like weapon that cannot be Sense Moved away from. It is also capable of grabbing Samus to slam her into the floor. Sometimes it will suck in a vortex of air before firing the beam; launching a missile into the eye during this time stuns it and allows for a Lethal Strike.

Trivia

 * ULF 46 greatly resembles members of the extinct group of invertibrates known as Anomalocaridid, especially such ones as Anomalocaris.
