== Biography ==
Samus is an orphaned bounty hunter raised by the avian-like tribe called the Chozo and has been hired by the Galactic Federation for an assortment of missions, mainly revolving around the space pirates and the metroids. She is often given dangerous missions, frequently to destroy a severe threat to the Galaxy or even an entire species.
More often than not, her missions turn out to require more time effort and employ more risk than originally intended. She has gained many enemies throughout these missions, such as Mother Brain and Ridley.

=== Metroid ===
The Space Pirates attack a Galactic Federation ship and take samples of Metroids, dangerous organisms. After locating the base of the Space Pirates on planet Zebes, the Federation attacks, but are forced to retreat. The Galactic Federation hires Samus to neutralize the threat of the Space Pirates. After defeating both ally to the Space Pirates, Kraid, and commander of the Space Pirates, Ridley, Samus faces the leader, Mother Brain. Samus neutralizes Mother Brain, who activates a self-destruct sequence, which Samus escapes to her ship from.
=== Metroid II: Return of Samus ===
After the events of Metroid, the Galatic Federation sends Samus to the Metroids' homeworld, SR388, in hopes of eradicating the species, so the Space Pirates cannot obtain any other Metroids. Samus begins to exterminate Metroids on SR388, where she learns that the species grows from their small jellyfish-like bodies into large, hovering lizard-like creatures.
After destroying several Metroids and the Metroid Queen, Samus attempts to return to her gunship, where she discovers a Metroid egg. Upon hatching, the Metroid infant believes Samus to be its mother and, unable to commit to her mission, she spares its life. Reaching the surface of SR388, Samus and the Metroid board her gunship.
