Seedling

Seedlings are plant-based creatures with a spherical frame with sharp spines covering their body. They are often seen scavenging the ground for food, feeding on whatever is edible. When threatened, they will eject their spines in self-defense.

Samus encounters Seedlings on Tallon Overworld on Tallon IV. They can be seen throughout the land and when approached will eject their spines at Samus.
