Amoeboflagellate

The heterolobosean pathogen Naegleria fowleri can behave as an amoeba (center) or as a flagellate (right).

An amoeboflagellate (pl. amoeboflagellates) is any eukaryotic organism capable of behaving as an amoeba and as a flagellate at some point during their life cycle. Amoeboflagellates present both pseudopodia and at least one flagellum, often simultaneously.[1][2]
