Sheegoths are large predatory creatures native to Tallon IV. They inhabit the Phendrana Drifts region. Samus Aran faced many Sheegoth while exploring Phendrana on her mission to Tallon IV. Four baby Sheegoth and an adult guarded the Wave Beam in the Chapel of the Elders there. It is unknown whether these Sheegoth were placed there by the Chozo as protectors of their weapon, or whether these predators were merely resting there. Like the Plated Beetle before it, the adult Sheegoth appears as a regular enemy when Samus has acquired more advanced weaponry.

[edit] Baby Sheegoth
Young Sheegoth have a thin, not-yet-fully-developed shell of ice along their backs, and these shells are considerably vulnerable to any kind of weapons fire. The Young Sheegoth are much more agile than their older relatives, they have the ability to breath frigid blasts of air which can freeze its prey in place, and they also have the ability to launch balls of ice from their mouths.
[edit] Adult Sheegoth
The Adult Sheegoth have a fully-developed shell of ice on their backs, and no longer have the vulnerability of the Young Sheegoth. These special shells of ice have the ability to attract and absorb beam-weapon fire, so conventional weapons besides the Plasma Beam won't have any effect. The Adult Sheegoth are much more sluggish than the younger ones. However, if angered to an extent, they will go into a rampage, trying to rush and trample Samus in the process. Adults have six eyes, so they have the ability to spot prey from afar. Like younglings, they too can utilize frigid blasts of breath, or balls of ice to attack their prey. After a certain amount of throwing balls of ice, or breathing supercold breath, the Adult Sheegoth will hyperventilate, giving an opportunity to deal damage. Adult Sheegoth will only appear outside of the Ice Temple once Samus defeats the first Adult Sheegoth inside. The first Adult Sheegoth is unusually stronger than a typical grown Sheegoth outside of the Ice Temple, so this might be presumed that the first Sheegoth might have been a leader for the others of some sort. Water seems to be lethal to Sheegoth, as Young Sheegoth die instantly when knocked into water.
[edit] Logbook Data
[edit] Baby Sheegoth
"The Baby Sheegoth is a glacial predator with an ice shell that protects its vulnerable dorsal area. Young Sheegoths grow a resilient shell of ice on their backs. This serves to protect a layer of vulnerable flesh that eventually becomes a ridge of energy-absorbing crystal. Powerful hunters, they fire bursts of ultra-cold gas at potential prey, then feast on their frozen victim."
[edit] Sheegoth
"A glacial predatory reptilian that reigns supreme in the icy landscape of the Phendrana Glacier. Sheegoths are difficult to harm, though intense heat seems to have a lasting effect on them. Their mouth is a weak spot, the only place on its body that can be hit without the shots being deflected or absorbed."
[edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl
There is a Sheegoth trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
"A boss guarding the Wave Beam in the icy Chapel of Elders. It appears after Samus defeats four Baby Sheegoths. The crystals on its back will absorb any shots, so the trick is to shoot it in the head with missiles when its mouth is wide open. The Plasma Beam deals severe damage to this creature."
