Kraid returns in both ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]'' in a much larger, two-screen tall form. Kraid is able to spew rocks from his mouth, and fires giant claws from the three holes on his belly, which act as platforms. Kraid can also throw his sharp claws from his fingertips. Samus defeats him by firing [[Missile]]s, [[Super Missile]]s, or blasts from the [[Charge Beam]] directly into his mouth. | Kraid returns in both ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]'' in a much larger, two-screen tall form.

Kraid was planned to be in the original ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' in his own section of the [[Phazon Mines]] called "Meta Kraid." He was shown with blue Phazon veins running up his abdomen and a metal guard on his head. Unfortunately, due to time restraints, he never made it into the final version of the game. | Kraid was planned to be in the original ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' in his own section of the [[Phazon Mines]] called "Meta Kraid."
