Zurburat

Zurburats are a new creature in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. They are quadrupeds and appear on Excelcion during M15: Mother Lode. Because of their role in attacking the Federation Force during their mission to secure the Cargo Tram, it is possible that they are Space Pirate-created or trained creatures. They jump and latch onto the Federation Force soldiers in a similar manner to Metroids, Phazon Grubs and Gandrayda, and must be shaken off.
