Summary
In the Metroid series, these statues originally acted as a way for Samus Aran to obtain upgrades to her suit.
Starting in Super Metroid, the statues were revealed to have some level of use outside of that, mostly in combat. In Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, it is not only revealed that they are sentient, but that they may also be living as well.
