Puddle Spores are a species of molluscoid found in the Magmoor Caverns on Tallon IV that use a thick, foul-smelling shell to allow them to float in lava by keeping this shell closed tightly at nearly all times.

- Puddle Spores are creatures that float in lava with their shells tightly closed most of the time. When a predator approaches one, it will open its shell in an attempt to make itself appear larger than it really is. If the predator continues to approach, then the Puddle Spore will slam shut and eject a spread of harmful energy globules. Its shell is impenetrable and emits a foul smell. They are very similar to the Dark Phlogus and Spore Spawn. However, they cannot be killed, whereas the Dark Phlogus can be killed by a Power Bomb while its core is open.

| - A Puddle Spore opens when approached, attempting to intimidate with its size. When opened, direct fire to its mantle causes it to flip into a defensive position. If it can slam shut, it ejects a spread of harmful energy globules.

| - Puddle Spores are creatures that float in lava with their shells tightly closed most of the time. When a predator approaches one, it will open its shell in an attempt to make itself appear larger than it really is. If the predator continues to approach, then the Puddle Spore will slam shut and eject a spread of harmful energy globules. Its shell is impenetrable and emits a foul smell. Samus Aran encounters them in Magmoor Caverns on Tallon IV in two rooms, Geothermal Core and South Core Tunnel. When she approaches them, they open their shells. Samus can then fire at them with a beam to cause them to flip over, allowing her to step on their under-bellies. They pose no threat other than the energy globules they emit when they close their shell. They are very similar to the Dark Phlogus and Spore Spawn. However, they cannot be killed, whereas the Dark Phlogus can be killed by a Power Bomb while its core is open.

Because Puddle Spores will only inhabit lava pools and puddles too large for a typical sapient being to properly jump over, this is considered a desirable tactic. It is possible that they are in some way related to the Dark Phlogi on Dark Aether or the Spore Spawn on Zebes.
