Parasitic?

Why are these classified under "parasitic"? They don't appear to demonstrate any sort of parasitic behavior in the game. They seem like regular ambush predators.--AdmiralSakai 16:23, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

They sap Samus' health. --RoyboyX 16:24, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

That isn't parasitic behavior, it is just digesting prey live. Venus flytraps aren't considered parasites. Neither are whales or insectivores. ChozoBoy (Talk/Contribs) 17:00, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

I could sort of see them being parasites if they kept their prey in their mouths (alive) for a long period of time and slowly fed on their vital fluids, but the way they behave in the game... nah.--AdmiralSakai 17:06, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
