Triclops are small creatures that can only be encountered when Samus is in Morph Ball form. They prowl tunnels and can survive high temperatures. They collect small creatures and bits of foodstuff, then deposit them elsewhere for later consumption. Their hard tripartite mandibles are used to move earth and rock. The strength of these mandibles is incredible; they can grasp the Morph Ball so tightly that it is impossible to escape once grabbed.[2]
When Samus encounters them while in the Morph Ball form, they will scuttle towards her, and if Samus winds up in one's path, the Triclops will grab her with its mandibles. They will then carry her around the tunnels (usually back to the beginning of a maze or pathway) and "spit" her out, damaging her while doing this. To avoid this, Samus must lay a Bomb as a trap of sorts. The Triclops will then go for the Bomb and attempt to take it to a personal depot area for later consumption. However, the bomb will promptly detonate a few moments later, killing the Triclops.
If Samus is caught by one of them, its possible to escape from their grip by moving the control stick back and forth very quickly (or by rapidly pressing B in the Wii versions); she will still suffer damage, but the Triclop will let her go without throwing her away. This technique works for both the Triclops and the Mechlops.
In Metroid Prime Pinball they can be found in the Phendrana Drifts stage and can be summoned in the Triclops Terror minigame on the Tallon Overworld stage, though they are only found in Magmoor Caverns in Metroid Prime.

The Triclops is a hard-shelled creature with powerful tripartite mandibles. Resembling a beetle, the Triclops walks close to the ground on multiple legs."
