Eyon
Eyons are creatures composed entirely of ocular tissue.[1] They plant themselves in clusters on the walls of the Chozo Ruins on Tallon IV. When an Eyon detects an intruder, it will fire a sustained green energy beam from its pupil, which is only capable of vertical movement, until stunned by a bright flash or until it is destroyed with a powerful blast, such as those created by Samus's Charge Beam.[1] When several Eyons become active at once, the resulting series of beams are an effective blockade against unequipped enemies.
Apparently, when Eyons die of natural causes they petrify, still latched to the surfaces where they originally existed.[2]
The Luminoth constructed mechanoids known as Sentreyes are highly similar to the Eyons, sharing the same weaknesses and attacks, though with increased range and flexibility.
