Metroid Database Bestiary

Gamets are large swarming creatures with an incredibly strong, rounded shell. Like the Zeb, they nest inside air vents and attack when Samus comes near. Their hard shells allow them to ram their prey into a pulp or drive off large predators. Gamets also have sharp beaks for shearing off flesh. The sharp talons on their feet allow them to cling to the rock walls of Norfair or the interior of pipes, where they nest side-by-side in large numbers like bats.

Gamet nests are a good place to refill your energy. Unfortunately, they are very strong, so it is difficult to defeat one with normal beams. Try using the Wave Beam or Screw Attack.

Red ones are twice as strong as the pink ones.
