Moheek





Moheeks are fish-like creatures in Metroid II: Return of Samus; they can be seen living in the dangerous liquid but can become land dwellers as well. They are a non-aggressive species, but on contact with their tendrils they cause an extraordinary amount of damage. It has the same AI (artificial intelligence) as a Zoomer. They are found in parts of the main tunnel in SR388.

Manual
"Usually quite tame, but if Samus touches its tendrills [sic], she will be hurt badly."

Trivia

 * The name may have originated from the "mohawk" hairstyle, as the head tendrils seem to suggest.
 * It is unknown if the species became infected by the X Parasites, as Samus did not encounter any Moheek-X in Metroid Fusion.
