'''Shriekbats''' are flying creatures in the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' series.

==Morphology==
[[File:Shriekbat mp1 Artwork.png|left|100px|A single Shriekbat]]
Shriekbats hang from ceilings in caves. They have a high internal temperature, peaking at 121° centigrade, which makes them easy to spot with [[Thermal Visor|thermal imaging]]. When something enters their territory, they swoop down and explode on contact with their target. Shriekbats native to [[Tallon IV]] have a small, insect-like appearance and possess blade shaped wings, a single red eye on their head, two small mandibles, and two small legs that they use to hold onto cave ceilings.

Shriekbats native to planet [[Aether]] are shaped like discs, with several glowing orange eyes and what appear to be tails.

There are several different subspecies of Shriekbat including [[Ice Shriekbat|Ice]], [[Bryyonian Shriekbat|Bryyonian]], [[Urtagian Shriekbat|Urtagian]], [[Elysian Shriekbat|Elysian]], and [[Phazon Shriekbat|Phazon]] Shriekbats. All Shriekbats are based off of real-world bats; however, their design only vaguely resembles them. Tallon IV's Shriekbats greatly resemble the [[Skree]] of [[Zebes]].
