Metroid Database Bestiary

A crustacean-like creature with enormous, bulging eyeballs. Zeelas are the “Geemer” of Kraid, in that they are creatures that can crawl anywhere, and are easy to dispatch. Zeelas have extremely good vision, and their special eyes allow them to gain a 360-degree view of their surroundings, but contain a volatile substance that can explode when their bodies are destroyed.

Any weapon will do, Zeelas are essentially the Kraid equivalent of Zoomers.
