Metroid In Metroid, Kraid is the boss of Brinstar. Due to lack of colors and the sprite's limited sizes, the artist's interpretation of Kraid for the game's artwork differed considerably from what the game designers had in mind. Kraid's artwork clearly shows that in addition to its smaller size in this game (than all later appearances), to have a mullet of green hair that runs down its back and has only two eyes. However, this is not the case as the “mullet” is actually the darker shade of scales while his third eye can be seen in the middle of its forehead as what appears to be a 'horn'(This could really be a 'horn' considering that Kraid shoots one of the three spikes from there in the original game, also in offical artwork from the original Metroid game Kraid really does have some sort of "fur" and one of the spikes is on his head.) Samus receives 75 missiles upon Kraid's defeat. There is also a fake Kraid Samus may encounter before fighting the real Kraid. However, since Kraid's Hideout has multiple paths the player can take to reach the real Kraid, the player may never actually come in contact with fake Kraid in a play through. Fake Kraid is similar in appearance but is a darker shade of green and is rather feeble in comparison with the real one. Unlike the real Kraid, it regenerates if it is destroyed and the player re-enters the room. Metroid: Zero Mission In , Kraid is reminiscent of its appearance in Super Metroid, retconning Kraid's size and proving that he did not "grow" between its appearances in Metroid and Super Metroid. Worthy of note is that there is no fake Kraid in this game. Oddly enough, while the identical room in which it appeared in the original game is present, fake Kraid is no where to be seen. After defeating Kraid, Samus is rewarded with the Speed Booster upgrade. Super Metroid Kraid reappears in Super Metroid in a much larger form, taking up the space of approximately two vertical screens. In this appearance, its body is invulnerable except for his mouth, which opens after Kraid is shot in the eyes. Four Super Missiles, 10 missiles, or many charged shots are necessary to defeat Kraid. There is, as in the original, a fake Kraid in this game though dwarf-like in comparison, both in terms of size and strength. Just like the Metroid decoy, it regenerates if it is destroyed and the player re-enters the room. Upon defeating Kraid, Samus is able to reach the Varia Suit upgrade. Other games Trivia
