The Baby Metroid appears.
Not to be confused with Baby.
The Baby Metroid was an infant Metroid present on the Bottle Ship. In Metroid: Other M, Samus Aran set off for Sector Zero, an area where the ringleaders of the Bottle Ship propagated Metroids. While proceeding down the main hall, Samus stopped momentarily and turned to her left while in Search View, and the Baby Metroid appeared. Taking her by surprise, she stumbled backward, and recalled the hatching of her own baby in Metroid II: Return of Samus. She quickly begins to hyperventilate about whether or not to kill it, and ultimately decides on the latter decision, until she is shot in the back with a Freeze Gun. While collapsing to the floor with her Power Suit disappearing, the Baby Metroid suddenly decides that Samus looks rather appetizing, and charges at her only to be frozen and killed itself.
The Baby Metroid after being frozen.
Adam, the person who shot Samus, explains to her that she cannot destroy the Metroids because they were engineered to have their weakness to extremely cold temperatures removed, and speculates that the reason he was able to freeze the Baby Metroid was because it had not reached the next stage of its life cycle, the mature Larval stage, where the invulnerability to ice would have surfaced.
The Baby Metroid is named in concept art of the game.[1]
Trivia
- Adam managed to kill the Baby Metroid with only one Freeze Gun shot, and it was seen splitting into three pieces on the ground. The Metroids Samus later encounters during the battle against the Queen Metroid can only be frozen temporarily, long enough for her to destroy them with Seeker Missiles. This is due to the later Metroids being mature Larvae, which are immensely more resistent than Infant Metroids.
