Zebesians[1][2][3] are Space Pirates that have been modified for the conquest of Zebes. They seem to have a bird-like head. They also have claws that open up to fire one or two lasers at enemies. They are also capable of clinging to walls with ease. Despite the fact that they are not native to Zebes, they have taken on the name of the area they are inhabiting.
Samus encounters them multiple times in the events of Super Metroid. In Metroid: Other M, the Galactic Federation has created cybernetic copies of the Zebesians on the Bottle Ship, in an attempt to create an elite army force at the disposal of the Federation.[4] They escape and often cause Samus trouble as she explores the Bottle Ship. In Metroid Fusion, all Zebesians are purple, and are X mimicking Zebesians, their presence in the B.S.L research station implies that either the mimicked Zebesians on Zebes then entered the B.S.L station or Biologic Space Labs researchers brought Zebesian specimens for study aboard the research station.
