Characters part V : Space Pirates


Space Pirates are the main antagonists of the Metroid games. They have been know to be merciless savage killers, only doing anything that will benefit their goal of galactic domination. They have used Metroids for energy sources, war pets, phazon experiments, and scientific research. Their leaders have changed in the games, In Metroid, Metroid zero mission, and Super metroid their leader was mother brain, but in Metroid Prime 1+2 their leader was unknown (they just refer to the leadership as "high command"), and in Metroid Prime 3 Dark Samus took over their minds with phazon, and became their leader. In Metroid fusion they were actually X parasites imitating pirates. As you can see from above, the pirates have changed drastically in almost every game. I think they always looked like crustaceans, except in Metroid Prime. The only Metroid game they are in, but not the antagonists are Metroid Prime 2.
