Squeept

Squeept are a species found on the planet Zebes. They propel themselves out of magma with what appears to be a jet-like function and can be frozen in order to be used as temporary platforms. In the Famicom version of Metroid, they could jump at varying heights.
In Metroid, purple Squeept are indestructible while red ones are not.

==Trivia==
*Squeepts are among the few creatures who's bodies can naturally produce flame engines. Other examples are the Ripper II, Tripper and Yumee. 
*The Squeept's behavior of constantly jumping out of lava is somewhat akin to the Vorash's.
