Zebbo (Japanese: ゼボ (zebo)) is a type of 'pipe enemy' found mostly in Ridley's Lair. They have a very bee-like appearance. They are found in Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid: Zero Mission. In Super Metroid, the creatures can be witnessed not only coming out of Air Holes, but also out of several Samus Eaters; Zebbos infinitely spawn out of those two structures, suggesting they have hives built within them.
Official data
Metroid manual
"These fly out of the air holes. A single blast will lay the blue ones flat, but it takes two blasts to destroy the yellow ones. These are the weakest opponents in the hideout."
