Yumbos are small creatures that live on SR388, encountered by Samus Aran in Metroid II: Return of Samus.

Description[]

Yumbos fly side-to-side high overhead, so they rarely pose any sort of problem. They're very mosquito-like in appearance. The feathers along their long needle seem to rotate, giving the appearance of a chainsaw. Their rather small wings don't look as though they could support the weight of their entire bodies, but somehow they barely manage to.

Trivia[]

  • A Yumbo is the first creature Samus encounters in Metroid II: Return of Samus.
  • Yumbos behave identically to Meboids, Mumbos, Pincher Flies, Seerooks, and TPOs. Their shared behaviors may explain why Yumbo and Mumbo have similar names.
  • It is unknown whether or not the Yumbo species became X Parasite hosts, as Samus did not encounter any Yumbos in Metroid Fusion.
  • Yumbos do not appear in Metroid: Samus Returns, the remake of Return of Samus.
