Hopper

Hoppers are aggressive, territorial insectoid creatures native to Bryyo. They attack by using their claws when close to their enemies and by expelling bursts of venom when they are at a distance from them. They are somewhat fragile despite their tough appearance, and hunt in groups for greater safety. They move around by hopping, as their name suggests, using small leaps to close the distance between themselves and prey.
There are three additional variations: the Alpha Hopper, the Phazon Hopper and the Ice Hopper, of which the Phazon Hopper was seen on Phaaze and the G.F.S. Valhalla only. An Ice Hopper on Excelcion and an Omega Hopper and Fire Hopper on Bion are featured in Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
It should be stressed however, the species found in the Bermuda System have a much different physiology than those on Bryyo, their behavior patterns are the same.
