The Magmoor is a fire-breathing serpent with a spiked back and pronounced jaws that dwells in the fiery depths of lava pools. Magmoors prefer extreme heat zones and are susceptible to frigid attack forms. Sightless, they navigate the lava currents using sonar receptors. Magmoors have a keen sense of smell, enabling them to pinpoint targets with startling accuracy.
Magmoors will pop out of the lava once Samus gets close and breathe lava. They will take a large number of shots with the Normal Beam to take out, but can be more quickly dispatched with the Ice Beam, or Missiles if you don't have it. In some Morph Ball passages, Magmoors will pop out to hinder Samus. Wait for them to stop attacking before proceeding.
You can permanently defeat some Magmoors by shooting the stalactites hanging overhead.
