The Rhedogian are creatures found in Metroid: Other M. These large creatures are encountered multiple times. One fought in Pyrosphere drops the Seeker Missile upgrade when it is destroyed.

Encounters

Samus first encounters the Rhedogian in the Cryosphere on an elevator after dispatching 7 Super Zebesians armed with Wave Beam technology. After a fierce battle, the elevator eventually reaches the top and the Rhedogian flies away. It later is seen by Samus attacking Anthony Higgs in the Pyrosphere while Samus is searching for the Mystery Creature. She is then authorized to use the Grapple Beam to get up to the ledge to save Anthony, who is about to be dropped into lava after being overpowered by the creature. After taking quite a beating a few direct Missile hits to the eye, it flies up and disappears into the lava. Later, in the simulated desert area of the Pyrosphere, the creature ambushes Samus and smashes n elevator. After performing a successful Sensemove, Samus deals more damage to the Rhedogian. After taking a beating, the creature collapses and falls down the elevator shaft, which allows Samus to proceed. Later on, Samus is running through the Biosphere and the creature again ambushes Samus. Unleashing everything they both have, Samus rises victorious and claim the Seeker Missile Launcher from the now defeated Rhedogian.

Later, in the epilogue, Samus encounter two more Rhedogian while moving through the station on the way to fighting Phantoon.

Battle

The Rhedogian is a fierce competitor, it uses everything it has. It uses the Seeker Missiles, it attempts to ram Samus, it will swipe its limbs, and has two powerful laser attacks from its eye. The standard one is fast and can be avoided using the Sensemove. The other, it exposes its red eye to charge a shot powerful enough to kill Samus in one hit and can't be avoided. This is when Samus can use a Missile to damage it enough to down it so she can go in and perform an Overblast on it. After all the encounters and battling, it eventually dies in the Biosphere and leaves behind "Unknown Technology" which turns out to be the Seeker Missile Launcher.

Despite being so powerful and durable, Rhedogian can be killed in one shot with a Power Bomb.
