I don’t know. I feel like Ridley would be both angry and find her situations somewhat humorous, given the fact that while he can’t technically kill her, he can still beat her up to his heart’s (if he even has one) content. Plus, give with how big he normally is, he could probably just pick her up and use like one of the rubber squeeze stress dolls



Also, yeah, I guess I never really did specifics what would happen if she stayed still, and the answer is, nothing would change. The “Bopper Virus” that Dark Samus used was from a planet that already had living inflatables. Those “inflatians” ,I’ll call them, already had the (lack of) anatomy so for them it would have been like the common cold. For Samus (and by extension other creatures) have their anatomy totally changed, and since their bodies don’t have methods of returning to normal, the virus persists in a permanent host of sorts
