[[Alpha Metroid]]s, [[Gamma Metroid]]s, [[Zeta Metroid]]s, and even [[Omega Metroid]]s. As Samus proceeds deeper into the planet, she is forced to eliminate every Metroid. When she finally reaches the farthest depths of the caverns and she finds a giant [[Queen Metroid]]. After a difficult battle with the Queen, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] continues to search for the last remaining Metroid, only to discover a [[Metroid Hatchling]]. Rather than attacking her, it follows her, believing Samus is its maternal figure. Seeing the potential for scientific discoveries, Samus decides not to terminate it. She returns to [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her ship]] by way of an escape cavern that is cleared out by the baby Metroid. | ||
After Samus's mission on [[SR388]] is over, she brings the last surviving Metroid to the [[Ceres Space Colony]] to have scientists harness its power. After it is stolen by [[Ridley]], [[Samus Aran|Samus]] returns to [[Zebes]] to find it. This story is told in the 1994 [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] title ''[[Super Metroid]]''. | After Samus's mission on [[SR388]] is over, she brings the last surviving Metroid to the [[Ceres Space Colony]] to have scientists harness its power.
