Yampa[1] is a species of fierce arachnid-like creature in Metroid Dread.

Description[]

The Yampa species inhabits Ghavoran. It has a jaw underneath its body, which it opens when attacking so that it can bite anything it deems a threat. However, this biting attack leaves it susceptible to a Melee Counter. Samus Aran can also attack it from a platform on a higher or lower level, as it cannot move between platforms. Yampas can attack Samus while she is hanging from a ledge by stabbing her with one of its legs.[2]

When infected by the X Parasites, most Yampas are mixed with Gooplots to form the hybrid Yamplot-X, which overcomes the Yampa's inability to move between platforms. However, the X can still mimic the natural unaltered form of a Yampa, as seen during the escape from Hanubia.
