Geemer

A version of the Zoomer which, in Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime Hunters, is indestructible if shot by the Power Beam. When attacked in this fashion, it defends itself by protruding spines. The only way to destroy a Geemer in Metroid Prime Hunters is to shoot it with any of the six sub-weapons or a missile, and in Metroid Prime, to shoot it with a charged beam or missile. When scanned in Metroid Prime Hunters, the readout says: "A small but dangerous creature that exposes sharp spikes on its back when threatened. This scavenger is known to forage through human refuse and is an infamous pest on Zebes." In the side-scrolling games, Geemers are merely able to take more damage before dying. They are red instead of black.
