Over the past 25 years, the Metroid series has introduced gamers to a variety of alien life forms and strange creatures, building up one of the most diverse collections of Sci-fi video game enemies and bosses. With such a large number of creatures spread over different generations of consoles (and gamers), learning more about all of the organisms and their names can be a bit daunting for those who aren't hardcore followers of the series or played every title. We hope to change that with our ongoing Bestiary compendium, which contains some short descriptions, tips and strategy, and some individual creativity.

We recently posted our 150th entry in the Bestiary, and it's never been easier for Metroid fans to cycle through years of enemy design, and have fun doing so. The following is just a tiny sample of the creatures that we've posted since launch:

If you haven't browsed the Bestiary recently or perhaps even viewed it since the week we launched, we hope you'll take another look and see some of our latest entries. We'll be moving onto the Prime series once we finish the Classic games, so look forward to seeing plenty of new additions in the upcoming year.

As we wrap things up here in 2011, we'd like to thank all of our artists again for their time and continued contributions, and for everyone, we hope you've all had a great and safe holiday season, and wish you a very happy New Year!
