Squeept are a species found in Norfair on the planet Zebes in Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission, and Super Metroid. They propel themselves out of magma with what appears to be a jet-like function and can be frozen in order to be used as temporary platforms. In the Famicom version of Metroid, they can jump at varying heights.[1]
In Metroid, purple Squeept are indestructible while red Squeepts can be damaged.

Trivia[]
- Squeepts are among the few creatures whose bodies can naturally produce flame engines. Other examples are the Ripper II, Tripper, and Yumee.
- The Squeept's behavior of constantly jumping out of lava is somewhat akin to that of the Gel Ray and Vorash.
