Magmoor

The Magmoor is a deadly serpentine creature encountered in the video game Metroid Prime. Dwelling within the infernal depths of the Magmoor Caverns on Tallon IV, these beasts have long, sinuous bodies with sharp spines running down their backs. Their heads consist of a large mouth and three organs resembling eyes. These "eyes" are actually sonar receptors that allow a Magmoor to hear any vibrations in their surroundings. Magmoors are actually blind and so they rely on sound and smell to perceive the world around them.

Magmoors lie within pools of lava, emerging when they detect a potential meal nearby. Depending on the target's distance, the Magmoor will attack by either biting with its powerful jaws or breathing a stream of intense flames. When Samus Aran traversed the Magmoor Caverns, she was able to dispatch Magmoors quite easily with her Ice Beam, which froze the creatures solid. Despite the immense heat within the caverns, frozen Magmoors would not thaw out.
