Bounty Hunter

From Metroid Wiki
Four Bounty Hunters hired by the Galactic Federation

A bounty hunter, or space hunter according to the Metroid manual, in the Metroid series is a space-oriented mercenary ready to be hired for firepower. The series' main character, Samus Aran, is among the most famous of the bounty hunters. Bounty hunters are extravagantly expensive, as noted by Adam Malkovich in the Metroid manga.[citation needed] The two major warring factions, the Galactic Federation and the Space Pirates, are among the Bounty Hunters' most profitable employers.
