The metal heads are the main enemy in Jak II and Daxter. They are also one of the enemies in Jak 3. The metal heads origin is unknown, but they name of the race was refered to during Jak II once as Hora-quan. The metal heads forms range from various different animal forms, mainly that of reptiles or insects. Other than the leader, Kor and the second in command Kaeden no other metal heads have the ability to speak. Metal heads have a certain amount of loyalty to each other in the sense that they work together rather than attacking each other. The "Skull Gem" of a metal head is their main feature, and is mostly found in the foreheads. It is know that Metal heads lay eggs as their methods of reproduction, the eggs cling to walls using a webbing to make them safer from the ground. Metal heads have various different abiliies ranging from simple beam weapons to more complex abilities such as Cloaking abilities. These abilities are in adition to their appearance, which could include stingers, or horns as a weapon.

Jak II

This is where the Metal heads made their debut, attempting to take Haven City under their control. After a while Metal Kor sabotages the shield wall allowing his army in, but the Krimzon guards don't use their full arsenal against the Metalheads, making it Jaks job to save the city by attacking the main nest and killing Metal Kor. Metal heads are also seen in the Whack a Metal Head minigame, where Daxter has a hammer and whacks the metal heads to beat a score.
