Biography

Samus Aran is the legendary bounty hunter who is well-known for defeating the Space Pirates and wiping out the dangerous Metroids. At first believed to be an android, Samus revealed her true identity after she defeated the Space Pirates on Zebes. Her reputation grew as her reliability almost always guaranteed success in her hired jobs.

Samus was the daughter of two colonists on the Federation colony world K2-L. When she was a toddler, the Space Pirates sacked the colony, leaving Samus as the sole survivor. A group of Chozo picked up the distress signal from the colony, and took Samus with them to their home on planet Zebes. They raised her as their own, infusing her with their blood.

In her late teen years, the Space Pirates struck Zebes, slaughtering the native Chozo and taking over the planet for themselves. Samus managed to escape, and shortly after began bounty hunting. She would not set foot on Zebes again until the Metroid incident.

Samus is rarely seen without her Chozo designed Power Suit. In addition to providing protection, the suit augments her physical abilities, allowing her to leap great distances or scale vertical cliffs. The suit is also modular, able to equip many different upgrades to increase versatility.
