Ice Burrower (Metroid)

Ice Burrowers are a subspecies of Burrower that inhabit the Phendrana Drifts ecosystem of Tallon IV. They have adapted well to their home biome, and their acid spittle has gained a sort of ice-element to it. Unlike the typical Burrowers, Ice Burrowers do not seem to require actually burrowing in substrate and instead only need to dig beneath the snow, which is certainly much easier to move through. They give away their position when moving however, pushing up the snow above them into a lump.
