Baby Sheegoth

Baby Sheegoths are young Sheegoths. They have two legs, no arms, and are protected by a thick shell of ice on their backs. They have a huge, gaping mouth with incredibly sharp teeth. Their shell of ice protects a layer of vulnerable flesh that eventually becomes a ridge of energy-absorbing crystal. They are very strong hunters and can fire bursts of ultra-cold gas at prey, as well as ramming their prey.

Samus encounters Baby Sheegoths in Phendrana Drifts on Tallon IV. They can be found in various rooms and in the open. They will attack Samus on site, making them a constant threat to her. To defeat them, she must fire either Missiles or her beam on the creature's shell of ice. Eventually, it will break, which will expose their vulnerable flesh. A few more hits will kill them.
