Revision as of 00:59, 5 September 2019
Metroids are a group of monsters in dNetHack. They belong to the trapper or lurker above monster class, which has been renamed the trapper, lurker, or metroid class.
All forms of metroid except the baby metroid have life drain attacks of varying potency, in addition to other physical and elemental (acidic, shocking) attacks.
Death rays will not kill metroids (except baby metroids). Instead, the energy will stimulate the metroid to bud or divide, creating one or more new metroids or baby metroids, depending on the development stage of the parent metroid.

A baby metroid:
| |
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.

Encyclopedia entry
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.
