Yampa

YampaMetroid Dread Report Volume 8: Surveying planet ZDR is a species of fierce arachnid-like creature in Metroid Dread.
==Description==
The Yampa species inhabits Ghavoran. It has a jaw underneath its body, which it opens when attacking so that it can bite anything it deems a threat. However, this biting attack leaves it susceptible to a Melee Counter. Samus Aran can also attack it from a platform on a higher or lower level, as it cannot move between platforms. Yampas can attack Samus while she is hanging from a ledge by stabbing her with one of its legs.Looygi Bros. "13 Cool Details in Metroid Dread (Part 7)". YouTube. January 21, 2022.
When infected by the X Parasites, most Yampas are mixed with Gooplots to form the hybrid Yamplot-X, which overcomes the Yampa's inability to move between platforms. However, the X can still mimic the natural unaltered form of a Yampa, as seen during the escape from Hanubia.

===Metroid Dread Report Volume 8===
"A spider-like creature. Normally, the jaw under its body remains closed. When attacking, it opens wide and charges its opponent for a powerful bite attack. It can’t move between platforms on different levels, so take advantage of your surroundings when facing off against one."
