'''Nova''' are small insect-like creatures that seem to have flames on their backs. These creatures mainly live in volcanic areas. They are native to the planet [[Zebes]], but were taken to the [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|B.S.L research station]] and the ''[[Bottle Ship]]'' for research.


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 the simple [[Zoomer]].
