Metroid Database Bestiary

A large crustacean-like creature. Scisers have adapted to living in many areas throughout Zebes, but the majority of these amphibious creatures live in the depths of Maridia. They come in tan, green, and red varieties. Tan-colored Scisers often travel throughout the water-eroded cave networks in Crateria, the green variety are primarily land-based, while red Scisers thrive underwater in Maridia.

Like other native creatures on Zebes, Scisers have excellent climbing abilities, but have greater defenses than Zeelas and the common purple Geemer.

Scisers may look weak, but their hide makes them difficult to take out. Charge up an effective beam combo or just use two missiles. Surprisingly, they can also be killed with a single Grapple Beam shot.

Sciser corpses can be found in Draygon’s lair, suggesting that they might have been used as a source of nourishment.
