Kraid

"'BU FUU- UUH FUU UUH' Kraid, Metroid Manga"

Kraid is an ABSOLUTE UNIT, I mean look at the SIZE of this Lad! In his spare time, he runs Kraid's Toy Shop, located in Tourian. He is hoping to someday be as large as the Ridley Store, but is constantly being attacked by Samus? whenever he is out of NES games. Kraid has 3 large Ulcers in his stomach from his unhealthy eating habits, and is currently fighting Diabeetus. He has a hatred for dogs, as they always steal his donuts. He is implied to be a Pirate boss, but never shows any sign of leadership whatsoever.

Kraid was a scientific experiment gone wrong. Japanese geneticists were attempting to make the ultimate Godzilla by splicing in T-Rex and Gamer DNA. Needless to say it was not a success.

Appearances
In the Famicom and NES version of Metroid, Kraid is the boss of Mini-Boss Hideout I. He is found in a room containing a large platform surrounded by a pool of piss. His original design made him look like an absolute idiot, a reptile with fur. The entire boss battle consists of Kraid walking back and forth on his platform as he constantly hurls his kidney stones at Samus.

In the remake of the first Metroid game, Kraid's off his diet, and he is FAAAAT. Kraid's hideout is now named after him and remains separate from Brinstar, unlike Sooper Metoid where his lair was simply a section of the latter. His weaker decoy is nowhere to be seen, as he ate him.

Mini-Kraid
Mini-Kraid is Kraid's clone, created as a backup in case Kraid gets killed by Samus again. Due to a genetic anomaly, he ended up 7 times smaller than his blood donor. Kraid decided to adopt the deformed version of himself, and loved him like a son. The dead body in front of the Gadora in Kraid's lair is the body of Todd Archibald Mendelson, an accountant from Hackensack, Minnesota. Apparently, Kraid did not like being told that he couldn't claim mini-Kraid as a dependent for his Federation income tax deductions.

Trivia

 * Kraid's nails are so large and grow so fast that 33% of Zebes workforce are employed in purely to give Kraid pedicures. Metroids are being cloned and bio-engineered to latch onto Kraid's eternally growing claws to try and solve the problem permanently.
 * Spore Spawn is actually Kraid's nutsack.
 * Kraid’s nutsack has an extremely large quantity of super missiles and will explode if shot at.
 * Kraid smokes the wacky tobacky. This is evidenced by the phat blunts he expels during the second phase of his boss fight. Bonus fact: Kraid has a second phase to his boss fight.
 * Mini-Kraid is not in fact mini, but rather Kraid's camera-shy identical twin brother who stands as far back from the camera as he can. Either way, he still counts as mini.
