'''Gliders''' are large, airborne life forms that appear in ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. | |||
==Morphology== | |||
The Glider's exoskeleton consists of a magnetic underside and a hard outer shell. The creature flies in a set path, much like the [[Ripper]]. The Glider is one of the two organisms that [[Samus Aran]] can record in her [[Logbook]] that do no physical body harm, the other being the [[Tangle Weed]]. The main use that Samus has for the Glider is its magnetic underbelly, which she can latch onto with her [[Grapple Beam]]. | |||
Gliders are vulnerable to the [[Ice Beam]] and can be frozen to force the creature to stay in one place, making swinging across gaps much easier for Samus. The Glider seems to let out a cry of some sort when they are grappled onto, most likely because of the creature feeling threatened or being in pain. | |||
Their magnetic signature is attuned to common Grapple Beam technology, which inspired the sport of [[Glider Riding]]. | |||
