Hopper Mound

Hopper Mounds are hives spawning Fire Hoppers in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. They can be destroyed and are not particularly robust like the Nests that breed other variants of the Hopper species. They are present at the end of M02: Hardball, outside of the dropship with the Extractor. They also appear in M09: Blender, spawning Fire Hoppers to distract the Federation Force from bringing the cart(s) to extraction.
