Botwoon is an aquatic serpent that resides in Maridia. When Samus encounters him, he will swim around the room and enter and exit four holes in the wall. He will sometimes poke his head out of a hole and spit objects at Samus; these are fired in a buckshot-like spray. To defeat him, Samus must fire Missiles, Super Missiles, or Charge Beams at its head. The rest of his body is invulnerable. As he takes more damage, its red color scheme will become more intense, and he will speed up. Once he has been defeated, Samus can continue exploring Maridia. The Serris boss from Metroid Fusion may be a reference or homage to Botwoon.
