Terry Gilliam

Terry Gilliam is a human mentioned in Metroid: Zebes Invasion Order.
==Biography==
Terry Gilliam was the owner of a private ranch in Austin, Nevada. On March 21, 100X of the Cosmic Calendar, a mysterious meteorite landed on his ranch. Upon closer inspection, only an impact crater could be found, much like the Tunguska event. Terry Gilliam is reported in the story to have left his home screaming, "The meteor! The meteor!," and never returned. He was later found dead, with his fluids sucked out so that he appeared to be an old man (he was 45 at the time). The authorities speculated whether an unknown pathogen had clung to the meteor, but in all likelihood he was attacked by the Metroid=Mutant.
==Trivia==
*Terry Gilliam shares his name with British-American director and Monty Python member Terry Gilliam. It is unknown if this was intentional or a coincidence. The Metroid series has named a character after a famous director before in the form of Ridley. However, Ridley Scott, the supposed namesake of Ridley, is a prominent science fiction director, while Gilliam has had little to do with the genre.
*Gilliam's manner of death, in which he was drained of his life energy, is the earliest known example of the result of a Metroid's predation on a bioform. Brittle husks of creatures killed by Metroids would later be seen in Super Metroid, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid: Other M.
