There are three types of standard Rippers. There are Brinstar Rippers, which are purple, and normal, brown Rippers appearing everywhere else. There is also one unique [[Winged Ripper]] appearing in only one room in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' while fighting the larval form of [[Kiru Giru]]. This special ripper cannot be destroyed by any means, not even the Screw Attack if it is obtained through sequence breaking. The purpose of this Ripper is for Samus to use as a platform once frozen to shoot down Kiru Giru. It is not necessary, however, as Samus can [[Wall Jump]] to reach Kiru Giru instead. | There are three types of standard Rippers.

There are also faster, more advanced version of the Ripper aptly named [[Ripper II]]. These versions seem jet propelled. They deal more damage then regular Rippers and move at a much higher speed. They are seen shortly before obtaining the Screw Attack in ''Zero Mission''. | There are also faster, more advanced version of the Ripper aptly named [[Ripper II]]. These versions seem jet propelled.
