“	Etecoons and Dachoras. I've met these intelligent beings before. They seemed to recognize me, as well. How unusual to meet again here. In the past, they've helped me unleash abilities I didn't know I had. But where did they run to? I hope they're safe...	„
—Samus Aran

Etecoons are blue, monkey-like creatures that inhabited the planet Zebes, and one of only three non-violent species Samus encountered there. In Super Metroid, these rather intelligent mammals taught Samus how to Wall Jump to reach greater heights. When Samus enters their room, they sing the Samus Victory! theme, before teaching Samus the wall jump.

Additionally, in Metroid Fusion, Samus rescued these same Etecoons and Dachoras from the Biologic Space Laboratories research station, when the X Parasite took over. These beings learned to control Samus's ship with the help of her on-board computer and commander, Adam, and helped her escape the destruction of the station and neighboring planet of SR388.

Trivia

These creatures are one of the very few species of mammals to exist in the Metroid series of games. Other notable mammals are Humans, the Rabbilis and the unused IceBoss.
On the storyboard to the right, it says there are four of them. However, only three are ever shown in both Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion.

Also on the storyboard, it says they live in "Hell". This may also be a reference to their nearby habitat; filled with specific thorny-like substances and unique enemies. In addition, their "home" is somewhat deep underground.

The Etecoons are considered the "cutesy characters" of the Metroid series.
The Etecoons are a greenish color in Super Metroid, but blue in Fusion and artwork.
The Etecoons have a slight resemblance to Blarp from the movie adaptation, Lost in Space.
