Little Birdie

rdfs:comment

A creature known to the ringleaders on the BOTTLE SHIP as "Little Birdie" is a small organism seen in Metroid: Other M and is the larval stage of Ridley's life cycle. It was genetically cloned from DNA found on Samus' armor prior to the game's events. Not knowing it was spawned by Ridley's DNA, the scientists thought it lacked potential as a bioweapon, and instead began treating it as their pet, giving it its nickname. Some time later it was found playing dead in its cage and escaped after it brutally murdered the unfortunate scientist who discovered it.

A creature known to the ringleaders on the BOTTLE SHIP as "Little Birdie" is a small organism seen in Metroid: Other M and is the larval stage of Ridley's life cycle. It was genetically cloned from DNA found on Samus' armor prior to the game's events. Not knowing it was spawned by Ridley's DNA, the scientists thought it lacked potential as a bioweapon, and instead began treating it as their pet, giving it its nickname. Some time later it was found playing dead in its cage and escaped after it brutally murdered the unfortunate scientist who discovered it. Samus Aran first encounters it after she leaves the Breeding Room (the creature's original chamber) in the Biosphere, watching it as it tries to get on top of its favorite fruit. It scurries off after noticing Samus staring at it, but as she turns to walk away, it emerges from the brush and stares at her. Later, a piercing howl is heard in the Kihunter nest, sending the surrounding Zeros into panic and enraging a swarm of Kihunters into protecting them and attacking Samus. After she defeats the hive, the creature appears and begins feeding on the honey from the broken nest while roaring at Samus as she walks by. She refers to it as a "disgusting beast" due to its parasitic nature of using other creatures' strength to its advantage, and also by the way it greedily consumes the honey. After Samus battles a previously unknown lizard-like creature, Samus and the 07th Platoon find Lyle KIA, covered in green blood. Samus follows the trail of blood, at the end of which she finds the little birdie leaning against an automotive vehicle. She nudges it, which then causes it to fall over, revealing that it was only a shell that was recently shed. It can be assumed that once little birdie outgrew its "shell" and molted into the lizard-like creature, it targeted and consumed Lyle.
