Ripper (Unused)

This is the 3D Ripper found in Metroid Prime's files that was cut and replaced with the Glider. The Ripper is an unusual organism in that it completely lacks a brain. It is controlled solely by a decentralized nervous system. It appears that its ancestor originally had a simple brain however it was a fairly rudimentary one, so it evolved nearly indestructible armor to compensate. This protection made the brain useless, so it evolved to be smaller and smaller until the present day where it no longer exists. The Ripper simply flies back and forth. The eyes connect to a simple cerebral ganglion and induce reflex-like actions that cause the Ripper to reverse direction when it approaches walls. The Ripper pressurizes and expels the air it breathes, keeping it in constant motion. The Ripper remains airborne through a natural antigravity system that makes them neutrally buoyant.
