Description (This is part of a huge piece I’m slowly working on so stay tuned for Draygon, Phantoon, Ridley, Spore Spawn, and Mother Brain!)

Here’s Crocomire, an optional boss from Super Metroid (and almost Zero Mission)!!! I say optional cuz if you speedrun you can skip him entirely (it’s not that hard to actually XD)

Crocomire is the optional boss of Norfair, and resides in a long room. The way to fight him isn’t to inflict damage, but to back him off into a pit of lava. I recommend using the charge beam. He’s most well known for his gruesome death sequence- you witness him melt in lava as his flesh slowly melts off to reveal his bones. After running to the spiked end of the room, his skeleton will swoop down in one last attempt to kill you.

Crocomire was going to be a boss in Metroid Zero Mission, Which is a GBA remake of the original Metroid on the NES, but he was cut late in development. His sprite can be accessed via hacking. In Zero Mission, he appeared grey, with his skin not melted, perhaps hinting that he wasn’t always red and melted looking, perhaps Samus did that to him in a previous mission.

Crocomire’s only appearance is in Super Metroid.

The colored version will be in the final product of this huge project!

This was drawn traditionally.

*In chorus*

Goddess of details! - Goddess of details! - Goddess of details!


I actually tend to forget Crocomire actually had a lot of tiny details in his (Super Metroid) sprites.

Yeah, he really does. He was one of my favorites due to how different he was from the other bosses, especially "that moment" after the encounter.
And it's kinda a little ironic when thinking about it that his official design looks like he's sometimes about to melt.

The rest of the various spriteworks from Super Metroid is also really amazing with the tiny details.
