Tatori are large, tortoise-like organisms indigenous to the subterranean lakes of Maridia beneath the ravaged surface of the rogue planet Zebes. Likely because of having adapted one of the most powerful armoring known to exist on the world, Tatori are normally very peaceful creatures. Their shell protects their body, save for the legs, neck, and tail. Tatori may normally be peaceful creatures, but should one threaten a parent's young, they will viciously attempt to protect them by retracting their limbs into their shell and spinning around rapidly, causing it to lift into the air.

- Tatori is a tortoise-like creature found in Maridia, and is one of the most heavily armored creatures on Zebes. It has a large shell protecting its body, save for the legs, neck, and tail. It is refered to as "Kame" in the game's code, which is simply the Japanese word for turtle. The Tatori can retract its limbs and spin rapidly, allowing it to "jump" (possibly a reference to the Japanese kaiju Gamera). Samus can ride on its back to acquire an Energy Tank up higher on a Grapple Point, and a Missile Expansion hidden in a wall.

| - Tatori is a tortoise-like creature found in Maridia, and is one of the most heavily armored creatures on Zebes. It has a large shell protecting its body, save for the legs, neck, and tail. It is refered to as "Kame" in the game's code, which is simply the Japanese word for turtle. The Tatori can retract its limbs and spin rapidly, allowing it to "jump" (possibly a reference to the Japanese kaiju Gamera). Samus can ride on its back to acquire an Energy Tank up higher on a Grapple Point, and a Missile Expansion hidden in a wall. Tatori, Jr. are also found in Maridia, and are the offspring of the Tatori. Normally the Tatori will not attack Samus, but should she attack one of its offspring Samus will be attacked by the spinning Tatori. Super Metroid Nintendo Player's Guide states: "Invincible. It tries to slam into you. You can ride on it." This is slightly incorrect as the Tatori will only attack Samus if she attacks any of the Tatori infants. Tatori have not appeared since Super Metroid. It can be assumed that they had gone extinct when Zebes exploded.

Because of the destruction of the planet Zebes, the Tatori are now considered officially extinct.
