Gawrons are strange creatures Samus encounters on planet SR388 during the events of Metroid II: Return of Samus. They have eyes on the tops of their fairly round bodies and what appear to be gaping maws ringed by spines. They fly out of holes in the ground successively (which points to these holes being nests for colonies of the creatures) attack only by ramming at Samus. Thus, this makes them pretty predictable. They only made their appearance in SR388, and are not seen anywhere else in the series.
Manual
"This enemy lives in a nest with many of its kind. When Samus approaches, they will start attacking, one after another."
