Ridley

The tenth (actual) boss in Metroid: Other M.

Samus' classic foe arises from the dead yet again. This is particularly shocking to Samus, whose inner PTSD triggers again. After he brutally "kills" Anthony's ass, you get to brutally kill HIS ass. The weak point is the head rather than him being vulnerable everywhere like in 2-D. He'll try to grab you and scrape you on the wall, just plain swipe you, launch fireballs from the air that spread a shockwave and need to be jumped and slam into you with his tail. Sometimes, his head will get a purple aura. That means no beam shots are effective at that time, but they never were anyway. Super Missiles still work. You kill him, he wakes up, flies at you and then flees yet again (he seems to be doing that a lot lately), only to later get his ass killed by a certain crocodilian beast, mummified and then brought to BSL where he'll become Neo-Ridley.
