Kihunter

KIHUNTER

When the SNES was released, Metroid naturally got its own entry, having established itself as one of Nintendo’s iconic franchises. This one picked up immediately where the Game Boy game left off, with the infant Metroid Samus had rescued being studied in a lab out in space, only for said lab to be attacked by Ridley and the baby taken. Ever dutiful, Samus follows Ridley back to planet Zebes, where she quickly encounters large insect creatures with wings.

These are the Kihunters, a race of insectoids that frequently ally themselves with the Space Pirates, acting as aerial attack forces whenever the need arises and moving about in swarms.

 As fighters, the Kihunters will be strong aerial fighters, with good speed and agility to back it up. Their moveset will pull from all of their major appearances throughout the franchise.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.
