'''Kraid''' (also '''Kraid's Lair''') is an area in [[Brinstar]].

==Appearances==
=== ''Metroid'' ===

In the original ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', Kraid's Lair (also known as '''Mini-Boss Hideout I''') consists of a tall grey chamber, with several doors on each side. Many of these lead to long purple corridors. Common enemies found in this area are [[Ripper|Rippers]], [[Skree|Skrees]], [[Side Hopper|Side Hoppers]], [[Zeela|Zeelas]], [[Memu|Memus]] and  [[Geega|Geegas]]. Acid is commonly found throughout this area like in other rooms of Brinstar. In order to reach this area, [[Samus]] must have the [[Morph Ball]] and [[Morph Ball Bombs|bombs]]. 

=== ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' ===

In ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', there are a few changes. There are power handholds throughout the area that have to be activated to cross large gaps. The [[Mua]] also appears as a mini-boss. In order to get to Kraid himself though, Samus  must obtain one of the [[Space Jump|Unknown Items]] to be able to destroy certain blocks. Additionally, the [[Speed Booster]] can be obtained by defeating Kraid.  

=== ''Super Metroid'' ===
[[File:Kraid's_Entrance_sm.png|220px|thumb|left|The entrance to Kraid in ''Super Metroid'']]

While there isn't a Kraid's Lair by title, there is a designated area for him within Brinstar. His hideout is located east, to the right of the elevator leading to [[Norfair]]. His entrance has the same beastly decor that is in the original ''Metroid''. Kraid's hideout requires [[Super Missiles]], and the [[High-Jump Boots]]. It is possible to gain access without the High-Jump Boots by using the [[Bomb_Jump|Bomb Jump]] or [[Wall Jump]] techniques, but first-time players are unlikely to use these methods. 

Kraid's area has a mechanical look here, with bolts and panels scattered on the walls. When getting closer to Kraid, the music changes to signify an upcoming boss fight, and the walls are green. There are even curved spikes on the ceiling similar to the original ''Metroid'', and a [[Mini Kraid]]. Samus can also obtain the [[Varia Suit]] upon defeating Kraid.
