Triclops

Triclops are small creatures that can only be encountered when Samus is in Morph Ball form. They prowl tunnels and can survive high temperatures. They collect small creatures and bits of foodstuff, then deposit them elsewhere for later consumption. Their hard tripartite mandibles are used to move earth and rock. They strength in them is incredible; they can grasp prey in an almost unbreakable lock.

When Samus encounters them, they will walk towards her and place her in their mandibles. They will then carry her around the tunnels and push her out, damaging her while doing this. To avoid this, Samus must lay a Bomb. The Triclops will then go for the Bomb, causing it to explode while holding it in its mandibles.
