The Alpha Metroid is the second stage (fourth if counting the egg and hatchling stages) of a typical Metroid's life cycle, appearing in two games, Metroid II: Return of Samus and Metroid Fusion. When an infant Metroid reaches the Alpha stage, the closed membrane once at the top becomes the belly, and a plated exoskeleton grows where the mandibles once were. The Alpha Metroid has two compound eyes, a horn on its forehead, two small tusks, and incompletely developed limbs running along its sides.
Samus Aran encountered fifteen Alpha Metroids during her mission to SR388.
[edit] Manual
"This the [sic] shape of a Metroid after its first molting."
[edit] Battle
The Alpha Metroid has very basic and straightforward movements, so dosen't pose any large threat. Five Missiles will take this creature down.
