Griptorax

A Fire Griptorax is a burrowing creature in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. It is present on Bion during M05: Excavation, where they are present in the ruined chambers. They burrow themselves into the ground and quickly launch back up while firing a burst of lava, similar to a Burrower. They also roll around like Zoomers or Geemers when above surface level. Fire Griptoraxes also appear in M12: Last Stand, where they are spawned as distractions by the Rohkor Beetle.

They have an ice cousin present on Excelcion.
