They prey on equal sized organisms, causing many alternate forms such as Chozo Morph Balls to be subject to attack. When they locate a potential victim, they will swarm onto it, draining its life energy in a similar manner to a Metroid, Mochtroid, or Quadtroid. Samus encountered many of these creatures during her second mission to Zebes, which ended in the death of the Mother Brain. As with all other species native to Zebes, it became extinct in the wild when Samus Aran finally destroyed the evil Mother Brain.

- Beetoms are small jumping, parasitic creatures with grasshopper-like legs found on the planet Zebes. They are completely unharmed by ordinary Beam weapons (but can be frozen with the Ice Beam). Their only weakness are Missiles, Super Missiles or Morph Ball weaponry, or they can be destroyed by using the Speed Booster to run through them. If a Beetom is given the chance to attack, it will leap onto its prey and latch on. After it is securely attached, the creature's single eye, which takes up almost the entirety of its front side, will turn red, and the Beetom will begin sucking the Energy from its prey, similar to a Metroid. Unlike the latter, however, Samus can remove the Beetoms quite easily by shooting them, often killing them in the process.

They'll suck your Energy otherwise."
