Bigbug02

Bigbug02Internal file name is a background creature in Metroid: Samus Returns. It is one of two creatures with the internal designation "Bigbug", with the other appearing exclusively in one room in Area 6.
==Description==
This creature appears in the sidescrolling backgrounds of Area 2 and Area 5 on SR388 in water-filled areas, but is never directly encountered by Samus and cannot be harmed (even with Power Bombs) or interacted with. This may suggest that it is not hostile, unlike most of the other species on the planet. Like Bigbug01, this specimen is original to Samus Returns and did not exist in Metroid II: Return of Samus, which lacked detailed backgrounds.
It has six eyes, a long red neck, appendages that look like whiskers and two light-purple legs or wings standing in a hunched-over, bipedal position. Despite its large body, it seems to have managed to avoid predation by Metroids.
It is seen in multiple rooms on the western side of Area 2. In the first room, a long shaft with a waterfall, it is seen drinking from the water; although it will leave when it spots Samus the first time she goes through the area. Later, it will return and drink from the water and will no longer be bothered by her presence, indicating it has become tolerant of her. In the next room (near the Alpha's chamber), it can be seen near steam vents, doing nothing. In a third room, two Bigbug02 specimens can be seen lying in profile in the background, once again doing nothing.
Another of these creatures appears in a fourth room in Area 5 (near a water-filled room in the area's middle level), where it can be seen entering the water in the background.
==Trivia==
*While neither Bigbug appears notably insectoid, "bug" seems to be the internal naming scheme for background creatures in Samus Returns, as seen with the Bugfly, Bugcrystal, and Bug05.
