'''Kihunters''', (known as '''Keyhunters''' in ''[[Super Metroid]]''), are insect-like [[Space Pirate]]s from another galaxy introduced in ''Super Metroid'' that helped to rebuild [[Zebes]] after it was devastated by [[Samus Aran|Samus]].<ref name=Manual>{{Cite manual|These creatures are pirates from another galactic system who helped rebuild Zebes. When they lose their wings, they spit powerful acid.|Super Metroid|34}}</ref> Although intelligent, their behavior and society is very similar to that of [[wikipedia:Bee|bee]]s. Kihunters seem to be the {{wp|imago}} stage of a Kihunter's life cycle, with [[Zero]] as the {{wp|larva}}. They are shown to live in colonies subordinate to a [[King Kihunter]], and thrive in tropical environments.

Samus commonly encounters Kihunters  in various parts on Zebes, being absent only in [[Tourian]] and [[Maridia]]. They will attack Samus by diving towards her then slashing, if Samus destroys the wings of a Kihunter it will spit acid at her.<ref name=Manual>{{Cite manual|These creatures are pirates from another galactic system who helped rebuild Zebes.

Yellow Kihunters are found in the [[Wrecked Ship]], some of which appear without wings. They are stronger than the common green counterparts, while red Kihunters are found in the depths of [[Norfair]], and are one of the strongest enemies in the game. Despite their increased speed and power, Samus can make short work of them with the [[Screw Attack]].

Kihunters appear again in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. They are one of the species studied and experimented on the [[Bottle Ship]]. Kihunters' wings can be [[Ice Beam|frozen]] or torn off in a [[Lethal Move]]. In some areas, Samus can see [[Zoro]]s turn to their pupal stage and then break out to adult Kihunters. It happens remarkably fast, possibly due to genetic manipulation. Some Zoros are also, at one point, vulnerable to all weapons except for [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s.

There are also mechanically enhanced Kihunters, the product of experimentation on the Bottle Ship. These creatures are more resilient, however like any other Kihunter can be defeated with one attack from the [[Screw Attack]].

After [[Adam Malkovich|Adam]] speaks to Samus about the [[Etecoon|Etecoons]] and [[Dachora|Dachoras]] taking refuge in her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|ship]], [[X Parasite|X]] imitating Kihunters start to appear on the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Research Station]]. The first Kihunters she encounters are wingless and will shoot acid at her, the Kihunters with wings attack Samus with their powerful stinger that inflicts a high amount of damage if Samus does not have the [[Gravity Suit]].

The first Kihunters she encounters are wingless and will simply hop and shoot acid at her, but the Kihunters with wings attack Samus with their powerful claws and stinger and inflict a high amount of damage if Samus does not have the [[Gravity Suit]]. Like those in ''Super Metroid'', Kihunters will lose their wings if they take enough hits before being destroyed.

:'''NTSC-U''': ''Creatures hailing from the Metroid series. They start off life as a Zero, growing into this bee-like form. Kihunters prefer to attack with quick dashes and by spitting gobs of acid. Definitely dodge the acid—it stuns you and goes through shields. Defeated Kihunters drop Jump stat boosts.''<br><br> '''PAL''': ''These insectoids from the Metroid series emerge from their larval form known as a Zero. Kihunters attack by either charging at you from above or spitting acid. That acid can paralyse you, and it'll even cut through your shield, so dodge to avoid getting hit. If you defeat a Kihunter, you'll get Jump stat boosts for your troubles.''
