Sporb

Sporbs are species of predatory plant found on planet Aether. Sporbs are often seen to grow on walls. They lie in wait until they detect a potential meal and then fire a volley of poisoned needles to incapacitate the prey. After this, the creature extends its mouth from the body to draw the creature into its maw. Sporbs can be found in Torvus Plaza, Abandoned Worksite, and the Underground Tunnel.
Samus can also be grabbed by them if she is in Morph Ball mode. Sporbs are naturally hardy, but are vulnerable to Dark Energy or Power Bombs (if grabbed in Morph Ball mode). They have approximately 55HP (Hard/Hypermode difficulty). A Darkling Sporb is a boss in Dark Torvus, known as the Power Bomb Guardian. There is an unused Logbook entry for a Dark Sporb, which points to Darkling Sporbs as a scrapped enemy.

*The Whipvine in Metroid: Other M is similar to the Sporb.
*The Phazon bullets beam (via hacking) is the only weapon capable of inflicting damage to their outer shielded bodies.
