'''Shriekbats''' are airborne enemies in the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]''. Shriekbats hang from ceilings in caves. When something enters their territory, they swoop down and explode on contact with their target. Shriekbats appear as small insect-like creatures with 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. On the planet [[Aether]] Shriekbats are shaped like discs they have several glowing orange eyes and what appear to be like tails. there are several different sub species of Shriekbat including Ice, [[Bryyo|Byyronian]], Urtagian, [[Elysia|Elysian]], and [[Phazon]] Shriekbats. Elysian Shriekbats are not an actual species of Shriekbat but are robotic versions designed by the Chozo to mimic regular Shriekbats. Ice Shriekbats appear in the [[Phendrana Drifts]] they have a blue and yellow color scheme; their wings are much larger and they have ice crystals on their backs. Bryyonian Shriekbats look more like real world bats. Urtagian Shriekbats resemble Shriekbats from Aether. Phazon shriekbats are completely different from all other Shriekbats they are more aggressive and when they dive bomb they explode in a Phazon explosion, they are completely dependent on Phazon. All Shriekbats are based off of real-world bats, however their design only vaguely resembles them.
