Triclops are small hunter-gatherers with three jaws.[1] These creatures can only be found in Metroid Prime's Magmoor Caverns. These creatures can withstand the high temperatures of Magmoor Caverns. They are non-aggressive creatures that only damage Samus if they run into her in either her normal form or Morph Ball mode, or if they mistake Samus for a rock[1] and draw her in to bite down on her. They expel Samus in an area designated to remove rocks and damage Samus as they release her. They can only be destroyed if Samus lays a Morph Ball Bomb and a Triclops draws one in, mistaking it for either food or an obstruction.

First Location: Pit Tunnel
Hard-shelled creature with powerful jaws.


The Triclops is a hunter-gatherer. It collects small creatures and bits of foodstuff, then deposits them elsewhere for later consumption. The hard tripartite mandibles it uses to move earth and rock are quite strong and difficult to escape once ensnared.
