The Gamma Metroid is the third stage of a typical Metroid's life cycle. The Gamma stage is not very different from the previous Alpha Metroid; both have the closed membrane as the belly and a plated exoskeleton on top. The Alpha Metroid had small barb-like growths along its sides, and now they have grown into longer limbs. The previous form also had only a pair of single eyes, and now they have multiplied into a pair of groups of three. The creature's forehead horn has become larger and more well-defined. The Gamma Metroid is capable of paralyzing enemies with a small field of static electricity emanating from its lower membrane.

[edit] Battle Tactics

 

The Gamma Metroid's movements are not unlike the Alpha Metroid's movements in any noticeable way. Although these are quite bigger than their previous form; try to avoid small spaces, or the situation could get a little hairy. You are still able to deal damage with missiles from any angle. Ambient static electricity will extend from the Metroid's front, and can stop incoming missiles from impacting the creature; on contact this can cause a moderate amount of damage to you. Recommended directions to fire at it from are either from behind or under the metroid. You should keep your distance when you battle these creatures, and a good technique would be to trap them behind a platform or another obstacle by exploiting their artificial intelligence. These should succumb after 10 missiles.

Samus Aran encountered Gamma Metroids during her mission to SR388.
