Background
Neo Ridley known as simply Ridley in English guides, is the tenth boss Samus faces aboard the Biologic Space Laboratories research station in Metroid Fusion. This creature is an X Parasite mimicking Ridley either the Clone of Ridley or Super Metroid Ridley.

The first time Samus sees the corpse of Ridley, it is frozen inside the Sub-Zero Containment room on the Main Deck. After the station loses power, Samus enters the back of this room while making her way back to her ship. As she approaches the clone's frozen remains, his eyes suddenly glow, recalling the original Ridley's previous encounters with Samus in Super Metroid. Instead of coming to life and attacking Samus, however, Ridley shatters as a Core-X leaves his body and flies away. As Samus continues exploring the station, she encounters what appears to be the Ridley's dry and rotting corpse in the Tourian-like section of SRX. As she approaches, Ridley's eyes glow once more before the X Parasite mimicking it morphs into the being known as Neo-Ridley. This "new" Ridley has a considerably altered physical appearance from the original Ridley, including enlarged talons; this is most likely due to the Core-X attempting to create a more efficient Ridley in the same way that X Parasites had improved the original capabilities of the Arachnus. |
