Brinstar, Kraid's Lair

An extremely resilient creature that can seemingly defy the laws of gravity without the need for wings. There are many theories how Rippers can fly; one is that their flatulence consists of a condensed form of helium, which allows their propulsion. Rippers are fairly docile creatures and move back and forth very slowly. Their more aggressive cousins are known as Ripper IIs.

Yellow Rippers are invulnerable, so it's best to just avoid them completely. Red Rippers can be destroyed with missiles.

Rippers can be used as stepping stones as they fly back and forth. The Ice Beam allows Samus to freeze one, jump on it, freeze the next one above it, and repeat. This technique allows Samus to get to areas she may not have been able to reach previously.
