The Gooshocker[1] is an X Parasite hybrid of Gooplot and Ground Shocker found on ZDR in Metroid Dread.
Description[]
The Gooshocker combines the body and form of the Gooplot with the skin texture and electric powers of the Ground Shocker, appearing as a Gooplot with rougher skin and a bright blue eyeball. It is one of two hybrid creatures created by the X using Gooplot DNA, along with the Yamplot-X.
In addition to resembling a natural Gooplot, the Gooshocker behaves almost identically: it sticks itself to walls and floors, then launches itself at Samus Aran when she approaches. Unlike Gooplots, Gooshockers coat themselves in electricity before launching, which makes them unable to be Melee Countered. Not only can they electrocute Samus if they collide with her, but they also electrify whatever surface they stick to, further increasing their attack range. However, like the Ground Shocker, the Gooshocker's electricity can be negated using the Screw Attack.
Gooshockers are first found in quarantine in Elun. After the X are released by Raven Beak, more Gooshockers appear in Dairon and Ferenia.
