The Kralee is a beetle-like species of predatory insectoid. It can open transdimensional portals with the red-colored crystal on its back. However, it is stated that the creature has no control over this ability, despite this trait having apparently evolved for defensive purposes. Thus, Kralee spend much of their time in a state of dimensional flux. It can be seen easily using the Dark Visor.

Their behavior is rather simple. They roam around a set path where at times, they may stand idle for a brief second to activate a teleport, where they remain invisible out of normal timespace. Within a few seconds, their teleport wears off and they are seen under normal spectrum once more, casually roaming as if nothing happened. If a Kralee phases out of Samus' dimension, it becomes immune to all weaponry under normal spectrum. Curiously, they are still able to inflict damage to Samus via contact while "invisible". The Echo Visor can detect their presence at all times but cannot be targeted when out of local timespace. The Dark Visor can not only target them at all times but also negates their invincibility when out of timespace, allowing Samus's weapons to kill the creature under this spectrum at any given time.

The creature is encountered in Mining Station B within the Agon Wastes. In the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, one is encountered within Agon Transport Access and can inflict 10 units of contact damage. The Bonus Disc Kralee does not activate its crystal teleport.

Their relatives are the Green Kralee, which are simply a mutant variety of Kralee that has lost its ability to create portals.

Logbook entry

The Kralee phases between dimensions as a defense mechanism. A crystal in its carapace gathers energy to fuel the creation of a warp portal. The process is uncontrollable, keeping the Kralee in constant dimensional flux.

Trivia[]

  • The name Kralee may be based on the word "crawly".
