'''Hornoads''' are small creature native to [[SR388]]. Hornoads are only seen hopping and not walking. Once they notice an intruder, Hornoads will attack them, but will quickly lose interest if they move away. They are a minimal threat enemy, causing low amounts of damage. These creatures are mentioned by [[Old Bird]] to other [[Chozo]] while he is explaining the threat of the X parasites. He reveals that the "silly creature" can become quite hostile when mimicked by an X. | |||
In ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', Hornoads can only hop and do not spit. They are found only in the earliest caverns of SR388. In ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', The [[X Parasite|X]] mimic of them is also capable of spitting globs of unknown fluid that will cause damage. On the B.S.L Station, they appear only on the [[Main Deck]] and [[Sector 1 (SRX)]]. | |||

==Etymology== | |||
The name Hornoad appears to be a portmanteau of the words "{{wp|Horn (anatomy)|horn}}" and the real-life amphibian, the "{{wp|toad}}". Hornoads are toads with small horns covering their backs, hence their name. | |||
