We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

K-2L — The Chozo Gray Voice is not the one who rescued Samus from K-2L; in canon, it was the Chozo Old Bird who found and adopted her.
K-2L — The statement about her dispute with Adam Malkovich over lethal force occurring during her time in the Federation is inaccurate; in Metroid: Other M, the dispute occurs after she has left the Federation and is working as a freelance bounty hunter.
Ridley — The entry states Ridley is known in-universe as the 'Cunning God of Death.' This title is not used in official Metroid canon; it is a fan-created epithet.
Ridley — The entry claims Ridley 'first led a Space Pirate raid that murdered Samus's parents on her home planet.' In canon, Ridley personally killed Samus's parents, but the raid was led by the Space Pirates under Mother Brain's command, not solely by Ridley.
Adam Malkovich — The AI does not 'admit that the Federation was secretly breeding Metroids'—this is revealed earlier in the game by the AI itself, but the specific detail about the SA-X reproducing asexually is discovered by Samus through other means, not admitted by the AI in
Adam Malkovich — The real Adam Malkovich's death is not explicitly stated to have occurred 'saving Samus's life' in canon. The Metroid manga and other sources indicate he died in a mission prior to Fusion, but the exact circumstances are not universally established as 'saving
Samus Aran — The hatchling in Super Metroid did not sacrifice itself to destroy Mother Brain; it sacrificed itself to revive Samus after Mother Brain defeated her, and the hatchling's energy revived Samus, who then destroyed Mother Brain.
Samus Aran — In Metroid Dread, Samus was not attacked by a X Parasite mimic; she was attacked by a Chozo soldier (a Mawkin warrior) that was infected by an X Parasite, not a mimic of an X Parasite itself.
Mother Brain — In the original Metroid (1986), Mother Brain does not have a single large eye; that depiction began with Super Metroid (1994).
Mother Brain — The Ice Beam does not exist in Metroid NES; it was introduced in Metroid II: Return of Samus.
Space Pirates — The entry states that the Phazon meteor mutated a Metroid into Metroid Prime, but in canon the meteor created Phazon and a Metroid later absorbed enough Phazon to mutate.
Space Pirates — The entry claims that Dark Samus was formed from Metroid Prime's reconstruction using Samus's Phazon Suit, but in canon it was a transformation, not a deliberate reconstruction.
Galactic Federation Police — The entry states that Federation military forces first appear in Metroid Prime (2002) or earlier, not in Metroid Fusion (2001). This is incorrect: Federation military forces first appear in Metroid Fusion (2002), and Metroid Prime was also released in 2002, so
Galactic Federation Police — The entry claims that 'no GFMC unit was involved' in the SR388 X Parasite outbreak investigation. The GFMC is the same as the Federation Marines, who are explicitly involved in the events of Metroid Fusion, which includes the investigation of the X Parasite on
Metroids — The claim that the Chozo 'first encountered these creatures and recognized their potential utility in defending against other cosmic threats' is misleading; the Chozo on SR388 created the Metroids specifically to combat the X Parasite.
Metroids — The statement that Samus was 'infected by an X Parasite on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station' is inaccurate; she was infected on planet SR388 before boarding the B.S.L. station.
