Robert L. Forward's Dragon's Egg?

Human scientists strive to establish a relationship with an
intelligent alien race known as the Cheela, but their efforts are
complicated by the fact that one Earth hour is equal to hundred of
years on Dragon's Egg, the neutron star where the Cheela live.

The 'Cheela', if memory serves, are more slug-like than "tripod-like", though.

  "The Cheela are anatomically simple creatures, with an amorphous body from which they can extend and retract appendages and crystal bones at will. They regularly create tendrils and pseudopods for manipulating objects, and body pouches to carry them. The only permanent structures are their twelve, regularly-spaced red eyes, which can also be stretched in eyestalks for them to see beyond their extremely short body height."

  When the cheela are badly injured they change to an inanimate tripod-like form for a time to recover.
