'''Magmoors''' are dragon-like creature that only reveal the top half of its body to attack. They are native to the [[Magmoor Caverns]] in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. They rise from lava to attack. A Magmoor's only attack is breathing fire out of its mouth, which is their only weak spot. Magmoors cannot move to different areas; they are locked to their own section in lava. They are often located in areas that obstruct Samus's path, keeping her from advancing until she defeats them. As with most enemies, two [[Charge Beam|charged shots]] from [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] [[Ice Beam]] can finish a Magmoor. Samus can also fire [[Missile]]s at stalactites above a Magmoor. When the stalactite falls, it crushes the Magmoor, and the Magmoor is gone from that location for the remainder of the game.

==Physiology==
Magmoors prefer extreme heat and make their homes in lava currents. They are sightless and use sonar receptors, which are often mistaken for eyes, to navigate their environment. They also have an extremely keen sense of smell which they use to target prey. Magmoors can breathe fire and usually attack from a distance using this method, but they are also armed with sharp teeth and will bite anything within range.
 
Magmoors are insulated by a sheath of scales. Firm spines run the length of a Magmoor from crown to tip. Their serpentine morphology suggests that Magmoors are capable of terrestrial travel, though no incidents of such an event have been documented.

Magmoors are dragon-like creature that only reveal the top half of its body to attack. They are native to the Magmoor Caverns in Metroid Prime. They are often located in areas that obstruct Samus's path, keeping her from advancing until she defeats them. She can defeat them with conventional weaponry and, occasionally, use a Stalactite to crush them.

Physiology

Magmoors prefer extreme heat and make their homes in lava currents. They are sightless and use sonar receptors, which are often mistaken for eyes, to navigate their environment. They also have an extremely keen sense of smell which they use to target prey. Magmoors can breathe fire and usually attack from a distance using this method, but they are also armed with sharp teeth and will bite anything within range.

Magmoors are insulated by a sheath of scales. Firm spines run the length of a Magmoor from crown to tip. Their serpentine morphology suggests that Magmoors are capable of terrestrial travel, though no incidents of such an event have been documented.
