Metroid Database Bestiary

Memu are fiercer cousins of the Mella, having evolved to withstand the high temperatures of Ridley’s hideout. They also travel in large groups and will swarm anything that comes close. This behavior is a defensive mechanism that allows them to compete against the larger, fiercer creatures of Ridley’s Hideout.

Memus are very weak and can be destroyed in one hit, like the Mella. Unfortunately, they are encountered in large groups, and often hide behind walls before attacking.
