Torizo

Torizo are a weird species that live on the planet Zebes. They are used by the Space Pirates to hunt down Samus Aran during her mission to recover a Metroid hatchling.

Bomb Torizo
Bomb Torizo are a subspecies of Torizo found in Crateria. Their armor is very weak, therefore after a prolonged period of time it will die from normal beams.

Golden Torizo
Inhabiting Norfair, Golden Torizo are much stronger than the Bomb Torizo. They have superb armor, and therefore can only be hit on their weak spot, the stomach. They can also dodge attacks by either sidestepping or grabbing missile weapons and throwing them back at the opponent. Samus Aran can defeat them by launching missiles and Super Missiles at its weak spot.
