'''Primids''' are the main troops of the [[Subspace Army]]. Normal Primids are relatively weak, and know a number of punching attacks. They come in many variations: [[#Sword Primid|Sword Primids]], [[#Boom Primid|Boom Primids]], [[#Scope Primid|Scope Primids]], [[#Big Primid|Big Primids]], [[#Metal Primid|Metal Primids]], and [[#Fire Primid|Fire Primids]]. Every time the player plays in the [[Subspace Emissary]], the eyes of the Primid are changed into a different style.
On a side note, Primids are one of three Subspace Army enemies to appear in at least one cutscene.

This Primid has no weapons--it will challenge you man-to-man. There are six different Primid types, but all of them are based on this basic form. There are also several different face types.''
