  • Etecoons are sapient, bluish-green organisms that act in a similar manner to primates who were once found on the rogue planet Zebes, although it does not seem particularly likely that they were indigenous to the world, due to the dangerous inhabitants of the world and being an extreme contrast to nearly everything else. Their language consists of chirping sounds.
  • Etecoons are blue, monkey-like creatures that inhabited the planet Zebes, and one of only three non-violent species Samus encountered there. In Super Metroid, these rather intelligent mammals taught Samus how to Wall Jump to reach greater heights. When Samus enters their room, they sing the Samus Victory! theme, before teaching Samus the Wall Jump. Later in the game, they are trapped along with the Dachora in the room where Samus fought the Torizo. Samus is able to save them by shooting out the wall so they can escape, and they flee Zebes using a spacecraft, possibly the Wrecked Ship.

  • Endocoons are a semisentient species of mammal known for their playful demeanor. They are particularly fond of machines, perhaps drawn by the hum of an engine or the shine of metal. Unfortunately, their inquisitive nature can be quite disruptive, especially when fine machinery is involved.

abstract
  • Etecoons are sapient, bluish-green organisms that act in a similar manner to primates who were once found on the rogue planet Zebes, although it does not seem particularly likely that they were indigenous to the world, due to the dangerous inhabitants of the world and being an extreme contrast to nearly everything else. Their language consists of chirping sounds. They are friendly and non-violent organisms, and when Samus Aran happened to encounter a trio of them when she accidentally fell into a hole, they playfully taught her how to continuously jump off of walls. During the destruction of the planet Zebes, she happened upon the trio as well as a Dachora (which carried its unhatched egg with it) trapped within the former lair of a Torizo, and she used her Hyper Beam to free them, and they subsequently escaped in a starship. Later she re-encountered the same group aboard the Biologic Space Laboratory Research Station, where they had been taken captive but had survived the infestation long enough for Samus to release the locks and allow them into her ship as mischievous stowaways. This time around, it was the Etecoons and Dachora which saved Samus' life from a destruction.

Additionally, in Metroid Fusion, Samus rescued these same Etecoons and Dachoras from the Biologic Space Laboratories research station, when the X Parasite took over. These beings learned to control Samus's ship with the help of her on-board computer and commander, Adam, and helped her escape the destruction of the station and neighboring planet of SR388.
