Baby Sheegoths are the infant form of Phendrana's primary predator, the Sheegoths. They attack by ramming, firing large balls of energy, or frigid breath. Sheegoths' bodies are resistant to attacks, but their backsides are vulnerable. If Samus can break through the ice shell, she can quickly defeat Baby Sheegoths. Like other ice based creatures, Baby Sheegoths can be defeated quickly with the Plasma Beam.

When Samus attempts to acquired the Wave Beam, she is attacked by a group of four Baby Sheegoth. After they are defeated an adult Sheegoth attacks. Once Samus defeats Thardus, Baby Sheegoth become less common as the adults move into more areas.

The Grenchler on Aether is a similar creature to the Baby Sheegoth in both behavior and appearance. Both creatures are large, bipedal creatures resembling reptiles or amphibians. They rely on ramming attacks and, at a distance, the creatures resort to burst projectiles. Another striking similarity is their main weakness. Both creatures are sensitive only in their exposed backsides. They are also usually met in small packs of two or three.
