Gryncore



Gryncores are a parasitic organism found covering Doors. They are only present in Metroid: Samus Returns on SR388. The creatures are green in color and can only be removed with the Plasma Beam. Gryncores are commonly found blocking access to items. It is likely that they are related to the Taramarga and Gigadora, other biomasses that block Doors in the game. They may all be related to the Gadora creature that blocks the door to bosses in previous 2-D Metroid games. The Gryncore's name in the Map key is not added until one is destroyed. They are present in Area 5 (where the Plasma Beam is obtained), the Surface (blocking a Super Missile Tank), Area 2 (blocking an Aeion Tank), Area 3 (blocking another Super Missile Tank) and Area 1 (blocking another Aeion Tank, which is also blocked by crystals).
