Alpha Blogg
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
An Alpha Blogg is the head of a Blogg pack, having become the largest and strongest of the members. They are immense, much larger than regular adult Bloggs, and are capable of firing sonic disruption blasts, which can disrupt Samus' visor and her weapon control systems through direct contact with them. They also attack with their titanic triple-jawed maws in an attempt to eat their foe. They possess the same strengths and weaknesses as other Bloggs, which is both a blessing and a hinderance. The tips of the Appha Blogg's six jaw appendages have been broken off along with some of its back spines, implying that it has been in many a fight with its fellow Bloggs.
One such beast was found trapped in Torvus Bog's lower regions, where it was possibly feeding off of the local Hydlings. It was found trapped within the Hydrodynamo Shaft, and was unable to attack anything, let alone Samus herself. However, this all changed soon when she obtained the Gravity Boost; the gates back into the Hydrochamber Storage room were shut tight, and the Alpha Blogg was released as part of a trap for those who took the item, where it attacked our trapped heroine in the Main Hydrochamber. Samus Aran subsequently destroyed it in order to escape.
Although a difficult battle, it could be made many times easier by keeping the Power Beam charged -- when the Alpha Blogg readied its charging attack, one could easily fire a Super Missile into its mouth and attempt to get out of the way. This technique could kill the creature in as little as 4 direct hits. The key to this method is using the dodge move to avoid it during battle. Instead of firing and moving as fast as you can, it is best to wait for it to get close before dodging; if you move too early, it will adjust it's trajectory and further movement will only bring it to home in on you more accurately until it crashes into you, inflicting massive damage. After a certin amount of damage the Alpha Blogg will charge with its jaws closed, so you can't damage it. This is simply a random number generation, he will eventully charge normal.
