Ripper

Rippers are a type of "enemy" species from the Metroid series, which appear semi-frequently in Planet Zebeth as one of the main "minion" species on Zebeth. They somewhat resemble "beetles" that, rather than flying conventionally, hover around the place, usually flying from left to right and vice-versa, turning around upon encountering a wall--this has earned them a reputation for stupidity.

Notable Rippers:
 * Speedy
 * Bouncy
