Baby metroids are the weakest form of metroid, and are not normally generated. Metroid [[eggs]] hatch into baby metroids. If a metroid egg hatches in your inventory, the resulting baby metroid will always be tame.

Baby metroids are too young to divide, and will therefore die if zapped with a [[wand of death]]. They also do not have a life-draining bite.

Only 3 metroid queens will appear in the dungeon.

If zapped with a wand of death, she will bud off three metroids.

A tame metroid queen will revert to peaceful at the start of her next turn.

Metroid queens wander around their dungeon level, laying eggs at irregular intervals.

{{encyclopedia|
Metroids appear to be able to sense the life energy of their
prey as they have no visible sensory organs.

In their natural life cycle, Metroids gradually metamorphose
to take a somewhat reptilian form, growing a hard organic
shell, a head, and limbs, eventually shedding their gelatinous
membrane completely. The shell removes their weakness to cold
temperatures. The egg-laying Metroid Queen appears to be the
only form in which Metroids can normally reproduce, although
many Metroid bioforms can divide almost instantaneously
when exposed to certain kinds of high-energy radiation.

+'''Baby metroids''' are the weakest form of metroid, and are not normally generated.  Metroid [[eggs]] hatch into baby metroids.  If a metroid egg hatches in your inventory, the resulting baby metroid will always be tame.
 Baby metroids are too young to divide, and will therefore die if zapped with a [[wand of death]].  They also do not have a life-draining bite.
