Why would they name him Draygon when he's not a dragon

[Anonymous No.8291158]

no, he is a draygon

Dragons don't exist, so they can look any way you want them to look

[Anonymous No.8291425]

>>8291156
Because Draygon is clearly a different word and creature from Dragon? Did you dress yourself today?

[Anonymous No.8291430]

>>8291156
He's cross between a crayfish and a dragon. A draygon.

little on the nose to rename ridley to draygon don't ya think
though yeah idk really
could have just gave him a random name like they did with kraid

Why is he called Torizo if he is not an Spanish sausage.

>>8291776
don't people use he as like a catchall? like calling someone "dude" doesn't mean you're talking to a guy. although yeah it had kids so it's probably a lass. samus does some pretty fucked up shit in this one, like even if the mother was workin for the space pirates what's the deal with this guy? i don't think he attacks until you do

I think it's a weird translation thing, like the Japanese word for seahorse is actually literally translated as "little dragon" or something

This is also why Seadra is the "Dragon" pokemon despite not being dragon-type or looking like a dragon in any way.

>>8291776
>>8291181
So... Are you assuming that Draygon is female because Draygon is a good parent to its children?

If so, sorry about your absent father. I get it, I know how that feels.

[Anonymous No.8292369]

>>8291181
Yes.

>The fishy guardian of Maridia comes in the form of the gigantic, lobster-like Draygon. When you first arrive in his cavern, he will not be there, but there's no time to waste.

Also the Evirs are not necessarily his offspring, and if they were you have creatures like seahorses, who care for the offspring.

Was it you who recorded that gif? I've never tried to attack like that. Does it cause good damage or is it just a stylish finisher?

He doesn't die he just faints and they hide him. Every boss in SM is actually a commander, so it makes sense that they come to help.

[Anonymous No.8294071]

>>8292240
Traditionally yes. Although in PC culture this is not the done thing any more.

I always suspected this tradition derived from Christianity (biblical references to humanity as "man/mankind" and referring to God in the masculine)

Crocomire did nothing wrong, he was merely playing by the acid pool.

[Anonymous No.8294105]

>>8292623
nta, it's a one hit ko. The technique is considered bugged, because there's no space to gain speed in such small space, there's a trick for that. It's just strange that it's programmed into the game, maybe it was possible to beat him like this before.

[Anonymous No.8294404]

Why did they hate him so much?

He was so fucking annoying that I actually thought the grapple beam trick was the only intended method of killing him.

It's 竜の落とし子, which means "dragon's illegitimate child"

This image makes Draygon look intimidating but as usual Super Metroid boss fights are a total cake walk and nothing special at all.

i think its a side-effect of making draygon vulnerable to electrocution/grapple that makes her weak to the shinespark echoes.
also good fucking luck. thats a VERY tight short charge, especially with that bitch swoopin at you constantly. triple tap, with stutter iirc

i mean its an exploration game
the bosses are literally only there to stop you from going directly to the end
the mother brain """fight""" is literally just a cutscene for lore purposes

Sorry to hear about your absent father figure, anon, but I don't know if it's healthy to project your issues onto a fictional alien seahorse thing.

Also tori is an alternate reading of the character 鳥 used in 鳥像 (chōzō), an allusion to it not being a real chozo statue.

Fun fact that Ridley in Metroid (and possibly Super Metroid as well, can't remember) is referred to as a "it"

>>8291908
Like Chozo, Torizo is just localization contraction of the Japanese word that English kept. In japanese they are just generically called "Bird Man Statue", and Chozo are called something like the "Bird Man Tribe"
