Summary
Ridley is one of the leaders of the Space Pirates and the archnemesis of Samus Aran, having orphaned her on K-2L. Despite his monstrous appearance, Ridley is a brilliant Space Pirate leader and is well-versed in robotics, but he is also a monstrous sadist happy to devour his foes after killing them. He is most infamous for his resilience, appearing again and again no matter how many times Samus has defeated him, returning as a cyborg, Meta Ridley, and even returning after his death to plague her once more.
