* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: These relentless automatons, which are incredibly fast and agile, made of the strongest alloys in the cosmos, and capable of overpowering the galaxy's greatest warrior, were designed to be mere research drones. It gets even more ludicrous with the later-encountered models, which are equipped with abilities or weapons that go way beyond the justification of exploration or defense from hostile wildlife and are more perfectly-suited for hunter-killer robots. E.M.M.I.-07PB, in particular, is equipped with ''[[SmartBomb Power Bombs]]''. It's unknown if Exelion Star Corporation built them with these abilities [[spoiler:or if Raven Beak modified them after reprogramming them to make them efficient killers]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The damage Samus inflicts on it in the first fight is what allows the X to infect it.

* CoolGuns: The Federation Marines have detachable arm mounted guns for both their kinetic and other energy weapons. The Army soldiers have more conventional assault rifles.

* CoolGuns: They nearly match Samus's arm cannon in versatility and are mounted onto mechs.

* CollisionDamage: Loves to collide with you, almost more than shoot you.

* MeatSackRobot: It's a machine with organic components installed. Those organic components are what let the X infect it, much like its fellow machine-with-organic-parts, the B.O.X. security droid.

* NightmareFace: Six horrid little yellow eyes and saggy, snot-green skin. In ''Fusion'', the face starts to ''melt'' as you shoot it!
* NotQuiteDead: In ''Other M'', it lies dormant after its first defeat until you backtrack through its area again, causing it to reanimate to fight you. [[spoiler:Given that information, it's possible that it's ''still'' not dead after its final defeat. Just unable to do anything to fight you since you destroyed its only means of attack and locomotion.]]

The Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifiers, or E.M.M.I., were created by the Galactic Federation and sent to investigate Planet ZDR over rumors of an X Parasite infestation. Unfortunately, the E.M.M.I. have gone rogue for mysterious reasons, and actively hunt Samus during her mission on ZDR.

* WallCrawl: They can easily move on walls and ceilings and across short gaps in either, which gives them a peculiar form of locomotion that Samus has to work hard to stay one step ahead of. Defeating the White E.M.M.I. (the very first to display this since the first one is too mangled to manage more than a lumbering gait because of [[spoiler:Raven Beak's own strength]]) gives Samus access to the Spider Magnet, letting her do this to certain magnetized walls.

* LegacyCharacter: Heavily inspired by Mother Brain both in and out of universe.

* TerminatorImpersonator: The E.M.M.I. are imposing, NighInvulnerable androids with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] [[GlowingMechanicalEyes glowing eyes]] that are relentless in their pursuit of Samus and will not stop ever until they've [[spoiler:extracted her Metroid DNA for Raven Beak to revive the Metroids with for his army]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Is actually seen in battle gear in ''Other M''.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: An armchair warrior, but no-one in their right mind would bet against him.

->''"The damage seems to have been caused by a creature kept here by the researchers, who named it the Nightmare. Apparently, it was a bio-mechanical organism designed for military applications… It possesses uncommon power and can manipulate gravity. We must assume that it’s become an X-host. We have no choice. You must find it and defeat it. I can’t confirm the location. This thing is out of control. Hurry before it destroys the entire station…"''

A machine created by the Federation to control their bioweapons. To do so, they took cues from an individual that already demonstrated this capability: [[spoiler:Mother Brain]].

* AIIsACrapshoot: Basing the MB's AI on [[spoiler:Mother Brain, an advanced Chozo AI that rebelled against her creators and established herself as the leader of the Space Pirates,]] may not have been the best idea. Not helping the case is her strained relationship with Madeline Bergman, and her Federation superiors trying to control her.
* TheBeastmaster: She controls various creatures to do the fighting for her.
* BigBad: Of ''Other M'' as her going rogue, turning on the personnel, and unshackling the Federation's other bioweapon minion projects is responsible for the incident aboard the BOTTLE SHIP.
* BrainInAJar: [[spoiler:Her original form before she was given an android body. As she was created to be a recreation of Mother Brain, it's possible she is an evolution of the previous Aurora Units.]]
* BreakingOldTrends: She's the first BigBad in the Metroid games to not be an alien creature.
* ColonyDrop: As seen under RammingAlwaysWorks, she plans on using the BOTTLE SHIP to destroy the Federation headquarters, which is located on a planet.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: Passes herself off as [[spoiler:Madeline Bergman. Unfortunately for MB, she wasn't actually dead, though it does fool Samus for some time before Adam tells her not to trust her, as well as James Pierce, who tries to kill her.]]
* EtTuBrute: Seeing Madeline back-off and do nothing to stop the local security taking her away is what triggered MB's rampage to begin with.
* FunWithAcronyms: At various points in the story, MB stands for [[spoiler:Mother Brain]], [[spoiler:Madeline Bergman]] and [[spoiler:Melissa Bergman]].
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Madeline begs "Melissa" to forgive her and stop what she is doing, leading the AI to apparently surrender... only for Federation soldiers to appear out of the blue and shoot Madeline, prompting MB to shield her and go into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. To prevent another massacre, Madeline is forced to incapacitate MB with a freezing blast, after which the GF troopers promptly gun MB to death.]]
* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:While Mother Brain was killed in ''Super Metroid'', it's revealed that her AI schematics became the basis for MB in order to control the cloned Metroids. Such schematics also include [[AIIsACrapshoot the capacity to think independently like Mother Brain, which leads her to rebel against her superiors.]]]]
* HiveMind: She's the lynchpin, with every monster and robot on the BOTTLE SHIP under her mental dominion.
* LegacyCharacter: In universe, she's meant to replicate [[spoiler:Mother Brain's]] control over various organisms.
* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:James Pierce, the Deleter, sneaks up on MB after Samus leaves her alone. Let's just say there's a reason the Deleter's subplot abruptly ends there.]]
* NamesGivenToComputers: Madeline came to see her as a daughter, and named her "Melissa Bergman" when she was given a humanoid body. Unfortunately, [[DoNotCallMePaul she no longer identifies with the name]]. See EtTuBrute above.
* NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:Due to her merely being a recreation of Mother Brain rather then a outright clone like Ridley, she lacks the former's grudge against Samus and remains relatively affable toward her. It only becomes personal after Samus kills the Queen Metroid.]]
* PostFinalBoss: She is technically the last enemy encounter in ''Other M'', but the fight is short and easy, to the point where it was reported that many players won ''by accident''. The clone of the Queen Metroid is the actual FinalBoss of ''Other M''.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: She plans to ram the BOTTLE SHIP into the Galactic Federation headquarters.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: When Samus first encounters her, she mistakes MB for an ordinary human. [[spoiler:So does the Deleter/James Pierce; it's his last mistake.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Can be heard giggling as she commands the bioweapons aboard the BOTTLE SHIP to slaughter her creators.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: She's stronger and more durable than a human.
* {{Telepathy}}: Presumably how her hive mind works.
* TragicVillain: How Samus ultimately comes to view her. MB developed a soul after interacting with the Metroids, and this free will led to the Federation being afraid of her becoming a monster like Mother Brain. So instead of submitting to what was essentially a lobotomy, MB rebelled and sparked the entire plot of ''Other M''.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Uses her control of the BOTTLE SHIP's inhabitants to massacre the scientists onboard.
* TheUnfought: You never get to fire at her in the entire game.
* VillainHasAPoint: While her massacre of innocent people may be crossing the line, the fact that most of the Galactic Federation members she interacts with is corrupt in some way, and they preemptively attempted to take her away from her mother figure for a lobotomy just for the crime of having a soul- she's actually pretty justified in her hatred of humans on the ship.
* WalkingSpoiler: She's an enigmatic character who was only briefly and cryptically shown off in pre-release promotional materials and whose real identity and full backstory is not revealed until the climax of the game.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Seeing their recreation of [[spoiler:Mother Brain]] gain a will of her own was very unnerving to the staff of the BOTTLE SHIP, and it got much worse when she started challenging their theories and methods on raising Metroids. Worried that she would turn out like the original, they tried to cart their "malfunctioning project" away for reprogramming; only Madeline argued that she was more than a machine, but she didn't stop them. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy This perceived backstab is what caused MB to become like her predecessor.]]
