The purpose of the Winged Ripper is for it to be frozen and used as a platform on both sides of the room. This will allow Samus to easily aim at the thick Tangle Vines holding the Kiru Giru larvae. The Ripper will recover from being frozen more quickly than other Rippers, so you'll want to frequently refreeze it, in order to continue shooting at the Tangle Vines.
The only way the Winged Ripper can die is if you time your shots so that the larvae crashes on top of the Ripper after being freed from all of the vines. This can be easily performed by freezing the Ripper underneath the Kiru Giru, and then shooting at the last vine. This is the only opportunity in the game to kill it, as the Winged Ripper doesn't appear anywhere else in the game, and won't re-spawn once Samus leaves the room.
