 Melia:  These move in groups and can pass through walls and rocks.  They are the weakest and a single blast of the normal beam will lat them flat Polyp:  These are poisonous lumps of lava that are blown out of the airholes.  They are weak enemies and have no life force.

 

Squeept:  They emerge from the lava and sink back into it.  It takes more than one blast of the normal beam to destroy them.

 

Nova:  Their entire bodies are covered in spiky, fireproof wool and they crawl around the floor.  A missile blast will kill them.  If using the normal beam, it takes two blasts to kill the blue ones and four blasts to kill the yellow ones.

 

 Gamet:  their bodies are covered by a super-hard shell.  They fly out of the airholes and attack Samus.  The red ones have twice the strength as the others.

 

Dragon:  These ancient Dragons live in the lava and stick their heads out to blow fire at Samus.  Beware!  If Samus is hit by their fire blasts, his energy weakens.

 

Geruta:  The skin on these powerful opponents can generate fire and radiate the energy inside their bodies.  Be especially careful of the strong red ones.  These creatures are the most powerful to appear in this scene.

 

Multiviola:  These simple-structure organisms are reflected off the walls and bounce around.  They are pretty powerful but are difficult to attack with the normal beam as the walls reflect them and they are always moving.  Use a Power Item to boost power first.  One missile blast will then destroy them. Ripper 2:  these Rippers are more advanced than the Rippers who appear in the rocky zone.  They can spit fire and fly at high speed.  They look the same as the other Rippers but they fly a lot faster.

 Tourian

Rinka:  These fireball creatures suddenly appear in the last scene.  Lots of them appear but they are not very strong. Metroid:  This protoplasm in suspended animation was discovered on the planet SR388.  It clings onto Samus's body and sucks his energy.  It can't be destroyed directly with the normal beam.  Freeze it with the ice beam, and then fire 5 missile blasts at it.

 

Zeebetite:  this energy source is vital for keeping Mother Brain alive.  It is no more than a life-supporting system and therefore won't attack, but it must be destroyed and only missiles will do the job. One missile blast is not enough.  Other weapons are harmless against it.  You have to keep throwing missiles or it will simply come to life again.
