There are several paths that lead to the actual Kraid, so the player may not even encounter Mini Kraid. He is a brown and blue version of the regular Kraid, but of equal size. He dies from a single [[Missile]] or at the slightest touch of the [[Screw Attack]], though it constantly respawns like a regular enemy once [[Samus]] leaves the room and re-enters.

This impostor was potentially the source of much frustration for first-time players of ''Metroid'', as the latter may have thought, after killing him, that they had achieved one of the requirements of the stone statues to access [[Tourian]]. As a result, the players would leave [[Kraid (area)|Mini-boss Hideout I]] prematurely to seek out the second requirement, [[Ridley]], unknowingly leaving the authentic Kraid alive.

A few rooms before [[Kraid]], Samus will encounter this smaller version of Kraid. Before she sees him, spikes will fly towards her, very similar to how Bowser attacks in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'', requiring quick dodging and [[Morph Ball]] maneuvers if players wanted to avoid any damage. As she progresses through the room, she will eventually come face to face with Mini Kraid.

*There is an unused [[Fake Ridley]] in the original ''Metroid''. Similar to Fake Kraid, it has a different coloration from the true [[Ridley]] and can be killed by a single Missile or at the slightest touch of the Screw Attack. It uses Ridley's fireballs to attack.
