'''Nova''' are small insectoid creatures that seem to have flames on their backs. They mainly live in volcanic areas. In all games but ''Metroid'', they are capable of dripping some sort of flammable fluid on unsuspecting intruders from above. In ''Other M'', they are capable of causing minor explosions to damage [[Samus Aran|Samus]] and are particularly vulnerable to the [[Ice Beam]]. In two-dimensional games, they seem to be volcanic equivalents of [[Zoomer]]s.

This article is about the fire creature, Nova. For the green, high-frequency beam, see Nova Beam.

Nova are creatures who first appear in Metroid. They also appear in Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Other M.

Info[edit | edit source]

The Nova are small, insect-like creatures with flames on their backs. Native to the planet Zebes, these creatures mainly live in volcanic areas. A number of Nova were taken to the B.S.L research station and the Bottle Ship for research.


Gameplay[edit | edit source]

In all games but Metroid, they are capable of dripping a flammable fluid on unsuspecting intruders from above. In Other M, they are capable of causing minor explosions to damage Samus and are particularly vulnerable to the Ice Beam.

Manual[edit | edit source]

Manual info from Metroid
Nova: Their entire bodies are covered in a spiky, fireproof wool and they crawl around on the floor. A missile blast will kill them. If using the normal beam, it takes two blasts to kill the blue ones and four blasts to kill the yellow ones.[1]
