#thardus

In a Metroid series I want a scene during the Prime arc where after Samus sees Meta Ridley flying overhead in Phendrana, we cut to him checking up on Project Titan. He lands on the edge of the Quarantine Cave’s sun roof, teasing “Thardus” for not greeting him. As far as the viewer knows and can see, it’s just a pile of rocks, with even a little cave formed that the camera zooms in on; Most might assume the rocks as terrain, and this elusive Thardus has hidden somewhere like an animal exhibit at the zoo, not in the mood for visitors. If the Stealth Pirates have already debuted, it could also be the assumption that Thardus is just cloaked. Unimpressed, Ridley decides there’s nothing new to report and flies off to leave Thardus alone, jokingly lamenting in playful frustration that Thardus won’t talk to him; So fine, be that way!
