I think he does. And Omega Ridley is even more anorexic (just look at his legs). OR Samus beats all of the *** out of him everyday, so, he remains so lean and mean.
He just looks bulky. Especially his legs...maybe its just his bones?
I meant 86...anyway, THIS one -
- is USA version of Ridley 86/NES Ridley
:3 i think i might have some kind of explanation....
1- The Original Ridley (from the Original Metroid/ZM), the unfortunately second in command alonside Mother Brain...
2- After the poor thing gets his butt kicked by Samus, the pirates got orders from high commad to do the modifications on his body, in a really painful way
3- He later turns out as Meta Ridley, later he gets his butt kicked again and falls to the impact crater (i dont remember), probably the Phazon that was around helped him a little with his healing, and in some way went to the Pirate Homeworld
I think 6 months passed after that.
4- aparently, since he was regaining his organic tissue, the pirates got him new implants, and for some reason he got a phazon armorskin (that's why Meta Ridley in prime 3 is blue-ish), the battle of Norion happens and he ends up falling...and falling...and he's STILL FALLIN' on the generator shaft, when he reaches the bottom, he aparently dies, but the phazon from his armorskin helped him to stand back up, and went again to the pirate homeworld. He is seriously wounded, and later becomes the leviathan guardian (when he is more healed but with a wound still on his chest), since he absorbed the phazon on his armorskin alongside a big amount of phazon when he got inside the Leviathan, his implants and organic tissue are visible (His skin looks like exposed muscles...and that's why he looks thinner than normal)....he later EXPLODES with phazon energy, but he actually hide somewhere on the leviathan...heavily wounded again...
5- After Phaaze blows up, and everything gets back to normal, Ridley is healed (like Samus) and regains his whole organic tissue...he gets a little bit of rest while the events of Metroid II take place...later, at the events of SM, he loses yet again and supposedly gets blown up alongside with Zebes...
