Here's some awesome info about Ridley from our good friends at Wikipedia:
"Ridley (Metroid)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley_(Metroid)
"Ridley, also known by his aliases Geoform 187 and The Cunning God of Death, is a villain from the Metroid series, and is the series' primary villain despite not typically acting as the main antagonist in individual games he appears in. He is a draconic extraterrestrial that acts as Samus Aran's archenemy, due to his attack on her homeworld and subsequent killing her parents; despite being destroyed numerous times by her, he is always revived by the Space Pirates continuously feeding him Bio-Matter (which is live flesh and blood). Originally appearing as a subordinate of Mother Brain, the primary antagonist of multiple titles in the Metroid series, he appears in Metroid Prime and Prime 3 by himself in his Meta Ridley form. Despite his monstrous appearance, he is revealed to be very intelligent and capable of speech in the Metroid e-manga, though he does not speak in the Metroid video games."
"Throughout the series, Ridley has made a variety of changes in his appearance. He was originally roughly the same size of protagonist Samus Aran in the original Metroid title. In Super Metroid, he is significantly larger than in the original title, sporting purple skin, a large wingspan, glowing eyes and large claws; making him resemble a European dragon. His Prime series cyborg form is referred to as Meta Ridley, while a robotic duplicate, Ridley Robot,[1] is also shown in Zero Mission. The instruction manual for the original Metroid refers to Ridley as the last of his species, which was native to Zebes. His trophy description in Super Smash Bros. Melee confirms Ridley's gender as male. Both Ridley and Meta Ridley appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as bosses that must be defeated. Ridley is also incredibly cruel, and actively takes pleasure in killing others."
"Ridley originally appeared in the Nintendo Entertainment System video game Metroid. Mike Sneath, one of three senior character artists for Metroid Prime, was responsible for designing the Meta Ridley version of Ridley seen in Metroid Prime. It took him about "20 to 25 days" to model and texture Meta Ridley, citing the wings as having taken a few days of his time, commenting that it took him a while to get the shaders to work to give his wings the appearance of having a "holographic energy". He was not involved with designing the battle with Meta Ridley, which was left up to the game designers. Andrew Jones, the lead concept artist for Metroid Prime, had little to do with the design of Ridley. The initial design submitted was rejected by Nintendo, while the second design the artists submitted was approved. Steve Barcia, the executive producer of Retro Studios, called Ridley his favorite enemy from Metroid Prime due to the quality of the battle and his fan appeal. He added that such a battle was rare for a first person shooter, which helped to set Metroid Prime apart."
"Throughout the history of the Metroid series, series antagonist Ridley has received positive reception. He is regarded as a favorite amongst the Metroid series developers.
Nintendo Power listed him as their sixth favorite Nintendo villain, citing both his involvement in Samus' parents' death as well as his determination, dying at Samus' hands many times yet still coming back.
Computer and Video Games editor Mike Jackson described Ridley as a "fan favorite".
GameDaily called him the 16th greatest Nintendo character, commenting that he "beats Mother Brain by a mile as the coolest Metroid villain."
