Lightened Krill[1] are small underwater creatures in Metroid Dread. They appear at the base of Burenia's large shaft, where the area's Omnithon is located. Lightened Krill simply float aimlessly through the water and cannot be harmed by Samus. They are unaffected by the later X Parasite outbreak, potentially because the X do not see them as viable hosts.
While it is difficult to see them up close, their models reveal they have curved bodies with two elongated appendages, a slender "tail" and small "feelers". There are two variants: the first appears to have two hanging antennae on either side of its head, while the second has mandibles instead, two smaller appendages, and its tail is split in two.
