The Amokmaw[1] (アモクマ Amokuma) is a penguin-like species seen only in Samus & Joey: Volume 2.
Description[]
The Amokmaw is a top-predator on the planet Degrade, where they feed on the much larger Giants. They look innocent until spotting prey, when they open their wide eyes and reveal a smiling set of razor-teeth. Amokmaws travel at high speeds when on their belly, and are able to fire beam attacks from their mouths.
At the wrecked KI-1 Class Ship, the crew finds a penguin nest and the Amok Mommy. The Mommy is killed by Samus Aran and Joey, leaving the Amokmaw penguins to feast on its corpse in an unseen scene.

"The "Amokmaw" penguins inhabit the planet Degrade. They communicate with their friends using special sound waves. Amokmaws jet through the air and glide on snow, but not on rugged terrain."
