'''Zero'''{{fact}} are worm-like creatures and larval stages of [[Kihunter]]s. Like Kihunters, their origins, whereabouts, and other details are sketchy and vague. It is unknown what their planet of origin is, but Zero appear on [[Zebes|Zebes']] [[Brinstar|Brinstar jungle]] area. Zero have yet to appear on any other planet. Despite this, the [[Galactic Federation]] was able to obtain the genetic makeup of Zero and used it to clone them in the [[Bottle Ship]] and again in the [[Biologic Space | '''Zero'''{{fact}} are worm-like creatures and larval stages of [[Kihunter]]s.

Despite this, the [[Galactic Federation]] was able to obtain the genetic makeup of Zero and used it to clone them in the [[Bottle Ship]] and again in the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Research Station]]. After a certain trigger, Zero enter a {{wp|pupa}}-like stage. They then eclose into adult Kihunters. | ||

Zero first appeared in Brinstar after Samus had obtained certain [[upgrade]]s. The creatures appear to have recently shed skins or hatched from sacs of some sort; they emerge from a brown-tinted film of skin resembling their own. Green Zero will crawl around walls and ceilings, damaging Samus if she comes into contact with them. In ''Super Metroid'', there is no evidence that Zero are related to Kihunters. | Zero first appeared in Brinstar after Samus had obtained certain [[upgrade]]s.

Considering that [[Zebes]] was destroyed in ''Super Metroid'', the [[Galactic Federation]] seems to have used either {{wp|DNA}} of Kihunters from Samus's [[Power Suit]] or found Kihunter DNA on another planet. The latter is more likely than the first, considering Kihunters are from distant plantes.{{fact}} These Zero seem to have been considerably enhanced by the [[Bottle Ship|Bottle Ship's]] crew. Bottle Ship Zero's shells are much more resilient than regular Zero, best taken down by Samus's [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s. After taking a blast from a Bomb, Zero will be flipped upside down and will be much more vulnerable. Zero attack by jumping toward Samus, normal contact also damages her. | Considering that [[Zebes]] was destroyed in ''Super Metroid'', the [[Galactic Federation]] seems to have used either {{wp|DNA}} of Kihunters from Samus's [[Power Suit]] or found Kihunter DNA on another planet.

If left undisturbed, set Zero will pupate and encase themselves in a cocoon. After entering the {{wp|pupa}} form, Zero will instantly become Kihunters. Regardless of whether Samus destroys the cocoons or the Kihunters break the cocoons themselves, an unarmored Kihunter will emerge from the cocoon. Even if Samus destroys a freshly formed cocoon, an adult Kihunter will emerge, suggesting that Kihunters are cramped within Zero's bodies and their shells form the cocoon. | If left undisturbed, set Zero will pupate and encase themselves in a cocoon.

The Federation kept Kihunters and Zero in the [[Biologic Space | The Federation kept Kihunters and Zero in the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station]]. Zero reside in [[Sector 2 (TRO)]], the tropical section of [[Biologic Space Laboratories|Biologic's]] research station. While the Zero here may or may not have been enhanced by Biologic's researchers, the Zero themselves are not actually faced by Samus. Instead, their [[X Parasite|X]]-mimicked variants roam SRX. | ||
Zero-X have been changed from green to red in coloration. These are much more resilient then Zero faced before, and take many more shots to kill. Additionally, Zero-X will speed up and charge toward Samus if she attacks them. There are also blue variants of Zero-X, which are still more powerful. These X-mimicked creatures are able to withstand an obscene amount of damage, withstanding many [[Charge Beam|charged shots]] and [[Missile]]s.

The name Zero could be a reference to their weak power. It could also be a reference to their minimal stage in the [[Kihunter]] life cycle. | The name Zero could be a reference to their weak power. It could also be a reference to their minimal stage in the [[Kihunter]] life cycle. | ||
