Natural Habitat(s)


Shriekbats are airborne enemies in 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, Byyronian, Urtagian, Elysian, and Phazon Shriekbats. All Shriekbats are based off of real-world bats, however their design only vaguely resembles them. The original Shriekbats greatly resemble the Skree of Zebes.

Logbook

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime: Shriekbat
Territorial ceiling-​dweller.​ Body temperature peaks at 121°​ centigrade. ​Shriekbats have high internal temperature,​ making them easy to spot with thermal imaging.​ They roost on cave ceilings while hunting for small prey.​ Fiercely territorial,​ they dive-​bomb anything that wanders near.[1]
File:Shriekbat-scan.png
Logbook entry from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Shriekbat
Shriekbats have high internal temperatures, leading them to seek cool climates to dwell in. They prefer caverns, roosting on ceilings while hunting for small prey. Fiercely territorial, they dive-bomb anything that wanders near. This attack is fatal for the Shriekbat, as the impact sets off a discharge of thermal energy.
