Gliders are docile, airborne creatures found in Metroid Prime. They have a unique magnetic signature attuned to common Grapple Beam technology, allowing them to act as a Grapple Point. The Glider has spawned the sport of "Glider Riding", which involves attaching to a Glider and attempting to ride it as long as possible. However when samus uses her grapple beam they stop where it connects to them.
In-game, Gliders are found in the Phendrana Drifts and Phazon Mines. They are used to traverse gaps which cannot be crossed with only the Space Jump Boots. Freezing one with the Ice Beam will help the player keep it where you want it to be.
