The first trio in Pyrosphere.

Unidentified Life Form 62 is a small, harmless species of luminescent insect encountered on-board the Bottle Ship. These creatures travel in small swarms and appear three times in Metroid: Other M. The first encounter is in Pyrosphere, just outside of the pipe whose middle was eaten by the Vorash. These insects guide Samus to an Energy Part hidden in the wall. In the second encounter, they inhabit the room in Cryosphere where the first Gigafraug is encountered and hover around in the air, foreshadowing an Energy Tank that can be obtained later. They are only seen after the Speed Booster is obtained. They later reappear in the Pyrosphere, this time in the large, central, lava-filled room, hovering in front of a rock spire that can be destroyed with a Power Bomb to reveal a Missile Tank. They consist of spherical yellow lights from which protrude four small wings, and hover in place regardless of who or what is nearby. Wherever they appear, there is a pickup item nearby, and they are completely invulnerable to all attacks.

Trivia

• ULF 62 is physically almost identical to the Faeries featured in Nintendo's Legend Of Zelda series, and serve a vaguely similar function (pointing out potential collectable items).
• They also bear a considerable resemblence to ULF 43.
• The creatures always appear in groups of three.
• If Samus touches one while in Morph Ball form, it will briefly cease glowing and fall a short distance before recovering. This will not occur if Samus is in bipedal form.
• They are currently the only unidentified life forms known to specifically help Samus in some way.
