Samus Eater Bud

Nintendo Official Guide Book for Metroid Fusion pg. 27, alternatively translated as Samus Eater Spores by Metroid Database, also known as hanging plantsMetroid Fusion: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, are unbloomed flowers that appear once in Metroid Fusion.
==Description==
Samus Eater Buds are seen during the battle with Nettori in Sector 2. They are a pair of small, unbloomed flowers sprouting at the top of two large opposing tree pillars within the overgrown chamber, that repeatedly open and fire spores to try and keep Samus from damaging the mother plant. They can adjust their bodies so that they can face Samus's position before firing. The sprouts are invincible to damage, however Samus can repeatedly use weapons such as Power Bombs and Beam or Missile shots to eliminate the spores before they make contact in order to stay on the platforms and avoid falling into the below Samus Eaters. After Samus blows off the Nettori's front, the buds explode.
Although their Japanese name indicates that these are young variants of Samus Eaters, these buds have never been encountered by Samus outside of the X Parasite-infested Biologic Space Laboratories research station, not even on Zebes.
==Trivia==
*On Easy Mode in the Japanese version of the game, they remain closed and do not fire spores at all.
*Samus Eater Buds behave similarly to the pods found on the ceiling of Spore Spawn's room, which release spores in a similar fashion.
