'''Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifiers''' ('''E.M.M.I.''') are enemies in ''[[Metroid Dread]]''. They are agile robots that were designed by the [[Galactic Federation]]; seven are sent to [[ZDR]] to investigate evidence of an [[X Parasite]]. However, the Federation quickly loses contact with them as they have been reprogrammed by [[Raven Beak]] to kill [[Samus Aran]] on sight.

E.M.M.I. appear throughout ZDR and patrol certain areas. If one spots Samus, it chases her and grabs her if she is caught. Samus is given an extremely brief window from which to escape with a Melee Counter, but if failed the E.M.M.I. will stab Samus through the chest, killing her instantly. E.M.M.I. are impervious to Samus's normal weapons and can only be destroyed with the [[Omega Cannon (Metroid Dread)|Omega Cannon]].

==Concept and design==
[[Yoshio Sakamoto]] first conceived the E.M.M.I. during the initial development of ''Metroid Dread'', fifteen years prior to its eventual release date. Sakamoto envisioned the E.M.M.I as being similar to the [[SA-X]] from ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' in its ability to pursue Samus, but significantly more difficult to escape from. However, Sakamoto stated that the hardware limitations of the Nintendo DS prevented him from realizing this concept. The capabilities of the Nintendo Switch allowed for the E.M.M.I concept the materialize, with Sakamoto proudly remarking that the E.M.M.I's gameplay exceeded his initial concept.<ref>Myers, Maddy.

==Appearance==
An E.M.M.I. is a slim humanoid robot. Each of their limbs have three segments and end with four radially symmetric claws. Its front and back are nearly identical and the joints on its limbs and neck are capable of rotating equally in both directions. This symmetry and flexibility allows it to quickly change directions simply by flipping its head and body in the opposite direction. Its face, upper torso, forearms and upper legs are covered in armor, with different colors depending on the model. 

There are seven different models of E.M.M.I. 

E.M.M.I.-01P: Is heavily damaged, missing its armor and one of its claws. 

E.M.M.I.-02SM: Has white armor

E.M.M.I.-03MB: Has green armor

E.M.M.I.-04SB: Has yellow armor.

E.M.M.I.-05IM: Has blue armor. 

E.M.M.I.-06WB: Has purple armor. 

E.M.M.I.-07PB: Has red armor. 

==History==
The E.M.M.I. were deployed on ZDR after the Galactic Federation received a video of a living [[X Parasite]] which were previously believed to be extinct. After all communication was lost with the E.M.M.I. Samus Aran was sent to ZDR. Soon after being defeated by [[Raven Beak]], Samus encountered E.M.M.I.-01P before getting cornered. Samus escaped it by using a melee counter and she slid between it’s legs. Samus quickly jumped on a platform and jumped onto another ledge. The E.M.M.I. was unable to follow her due to its missing claw preventing it from climbing the wall. Samus observed it for a bit and entered the next room where she obtained an Omega Cannon. Trying to find the E.M.M.I. it walked through the door she was just about to walk through. Samus shot it with the Omega Canon and destroyed it.

Later, Samus came across E.M.M.I.-02SM. Samus evaded the E.M.M.I. until she obtained another [[Omega Cannon]]. First, using the Omega Stream to destroy it’s face plate and then using the Omega Cannon to finish it off. After destroying -02SM, Samus obtains the Spider Magnet ability. In Cataris, Samus came across E.M.M.I.-03MB. After evading and eventually defeating it, Samus regains the [[Morph Ball]] ability. In Dairon, Samus finds E.M.M.I.-04SB. This unit can move faster than the past 3 E.M.M.I. Samus can also outrun -04SB. After obtaining another Omega Cannon, Samus can destroy it and regain the [[Speed Booster]] and [[Shinespark]] ability. 

In Ferenia, while looking at a Chozo mural, Samus is stunned and then E.M.M.I.-06WB breaks through the mirror and grabs Samus by her arms it is soon after deactivated by Quiet Robe. This E.M.M.I. has faceplates and it’s purple. Later, when Quiet Robe X reactivated the remaining E.M.M.I., Samus encountered E.M.M.I.-05IM in Ghavoran. This E.M.M.I. appears the same as the past E.M.M.I. (with the exception of E.M.M.I.-01P) but it’s blue. It also has the ability to freeze things. After the E.M.M.I. is destroyed, Samus gains Ice Missiles. Samus once again encounter -06WB in Ferenia. -06WB has the ability to see through walls and fire energy to stun Samus. After -06WB is destroyed, Samus gains the Wave Beam. Finally, in Hanubia, Samus encounters E.M.M.I.-07PB. This E.M.M.I. appears the same as past E.M.M.I. (with the exception of -01P) but it’s red. When Samus enters the E.M.M.I. Zone, she is detected by -07PB. It releases a huge blast of explosive energy, it severely damages the room and knocking Samus down. The E.M.M.I. entered the room and just as it was about to extract Samus’ Metroid DNA, Samus uses her Metroid power to absorb the energy from the E.M.M.I. and in the process killing its Central Unit.
