Pincher Flies are lifeforms native to SR388, seen in Metroid II: Return of Samus.
Description[]
Pincher Flies have a single compound eye and a pair of pincher-like arms, hence their name. They normally fly in simple repetitive horizontal patterns from left to right over small platforms, and near the ceilings of caverns below the surface of planet SR388.
