[edit] Super Metroid
Powamps are passive creatures that dwell in the depths of Maridia on Zebes. They generally just float in the water in the same position and inflate when any other creatures come near. They aren't aggressive, and can be latched onto with the Grapple Beam for use as a makeshift Grapple Point. But despite thier docile nature, Powamps will cause damage if touched.
[edit] Fusion
There is a creature that is similar to the Powamp. It is encountered in Sector 4, AQA, in the lower areas and the depths of Sector 4. The room below the recharge room is filled with about 3 of these strange creatures. They prevent the player from accessing the other side of the structure in which they are in, which is also blocking the player from the Diffusion Missile upgrade (however, even if the player were to get past the Powamps, he wouldn't be able to get the missile upgrade as it is sealed with a level four lock). When the player gets near them they expand. Powamps also inhabit the Sector 4 depths where they block the player forcing him to find alternative routes around the Powamps.
