Mellow

,Metroid: Zero Mission Event Viewer alternatively romanized as Mero,Nintendo Power Volume 29, pg. 41Super Metroid internal files is a species of flying insects that are found in Brinstar in the original Metroid, its remake, and Super Metroid.
==Description==
In the NES and SNES games, they behave in the same manner as Mellas and Memus, in which they hover near a ceiling and swoop down quickly when Samus passes below them.
In Zero Mission, Mellows can only be found in Corridor No. 4, where they attack Samus Aran in swarms. They will disappear for the rest of the game if Samus destroys all of their hives, one of which is hidden behind a wall blocking access to a Missile Tank. Mellows will defend their hives when a threat comes close, and spend most of their time circling their hive when the latter is found within the same room, or chasing foes when there is no hive nearby.

==Trivia==
*Metroid: Zero Mission: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide refers to the Mellows simply as "insects".
*Mellas and Himellas are possibly related to Mellows, given their similarity in name, behavior and physiology.
**The Japanese strategy guide for Metroid: Other M states that Mellas and Himellas are in the same species as Reo. This could mean that Mellows are a species of Reo as well, although they are not featured in the game and no information is listed about them. Coincidentally, Nintendo Power Volume 29 erroneously uses the Reo sprite to represent Mellow.
