Kraid returns in both ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]'' in a much larger, two-screen tall form. Kraid can 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 reappears as a boss in [[Metroid Dread|''Metroid Dread'']] after 27 years of not appearing in any mainline Metroid games. His appearance most resembles his look in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' with some differences including a visible neck, as well as the spikes across his abdomen are missing and have been replaced with purple blemishes and large holes. He is also chained to the wall and ceiling near him.{{clear}} | |||

==== ''Super Smash Bros. | ====''Super Smash Bros.'' series ==== | ||
Kraid | Kraid appears in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]'' stage [[Brinstar Depths]], where he rocks the floating platform making up the stage. This stage appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]. The stage music reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but not the stage itself. Kraid also appears as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is classified as a Master Spirit and teaches other spirits the ''Tank Style'', which increases Attack and Defense but decreases movement speed and jump height. Being a Master Spirit, Kraid is given dialogue for the first time in any of his appearances. (Albeit labeled as grunts and roars with humerus possible translations added in parentheses) | ||

Kraid also appears in the [[Metroid Manga]]. Samus, at first, has a considerable amount of trouble defeating the powerful Kraid. Samus manages to defeat Kraid with the help of the [[Morph Ball Bomb]] upgrade supplied by [[Adam Malkovich]]. Although his appearance is relatively brief, it is significant in that it marks the first and only time Samus uses her Morph Ball Bombs in the manga. | Kraid also appears in the [[Metroid Manga]].
