Zoomers are creatures native to Zebes and Tallon IV. These creatures can be found throughout the Metroid series.
They are small creatures that are relatively insignificant, as they do not willfully attack Samus and simply walk in a set path. Zoomers are related to the slightly larger, red Geemer.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Metroid[edit | edit source]
Zoomers appear in Metroid's Brinstar. Their behavior is similar to many other enemies, such as Moheek or Tsumuri. Zoomers walk forward in a path and will follow that path indefinitely. They are one of the most feeble creatures on Zebes and can be killed with few shots of Samus's Power Beam.
Metroid Prime[edit | edit source]
Tallon IV Zoomers are not very different from Zebesian Zoomers. These Zoomers are pictured as more gray, but their behavior is similar to their predecessors. They pace back and forth or in a circle, clinging to walls or ceilings if they please.
These Zoomers were among the species studied by Space Pirates for use in Phazon experimentation on their research frigate Orpheon.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In the original Metroid, if a block is destroyed while a Zoomer is on it, it will float and circle rapidly in one area.
- Yellow Zoomers are the first enemies encountered in Metroid and, in turn, the entire Metroid series.
- There is a similar enemy in Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion known as the Owtch.
- The name Zoomer is a mistranslation of ジーマ. After the first game (excluding the Prime series where the name is ズーマー and Zero Mission,) it is translated correctly as Geemer.

Sharp spines protect it from casual predators, but the lack of a reinforced carapace makes the Zoomer vulnerable to any indirect attacks." — Logbook "Zoomer" (Metroid Prime)
