Failed clones of [[Metroid (creature)|]]s, significantly weaker and barely able to latch on to their prey. They are first seen in [[Super Metroid]], as holograms in the demo release of [[Metroid Prime Hunters]], and in [[Metroid Prime 4: Beyond]].

Physically they share almost every trait a standard Metroid does, but have only one nucleus instead of the usual four.
