The Chozo Ghosts are entirely absent from Chozo Lore and Space Pirate Logs. The same friendly Chozo Ghosts appear during the cutscene when the Artifact Temple's teleporter to the Impact Crater is fully activated. Most critically, they are no longer paramount to the total disappearance of Tallon IV's Chozo population before Samus arrives, which is never explained in this revised story line. Unlike in the original NTSC story line, the Chozo Ghosts have very little significance to the events preceding and occurring in Metroid Prime. No further information on the Chozo Ghosts exists. They simply characterized the Chozo Ghosts as entities without hope or solace.
While the Chozo still labeled these specters the Turned and noted their instinctive urge to protect the Chozo lands, the chroniclers were unclear on whether or not these doomed souls are actually Chozo. Some time after the Leviathan impacted the planet and infected Tallon IV with Phazon, the Chozo began to observe apparitions of their likeness appearing - the Chozo Ghosts. Instead of discovering the truths of the universe and ascending into trans-dimensional beings, the Chozo of Tallon IV were content to remain living their mortal lives in harmony with the rest of Tallon IV's ecosystem. These Chozo Ghosts vanish and are not seen again.Ģ7 August 2007 In Metroid Prime (PAL) Together, they complete the process of unlocking the Cipher that blocked access to the Cradle, opening the way for Samus to enter the Impact Crater and fulfill the Chozo prophecy by defeating Metroid Prime. It is only after Samus defeats Meta Ridley at the destroyed Artifact Temple when non-hostile Chozo Ghosts first appear, one for each destroyed artifact totem. When Samus enters various sacred locations in their ruins, these remaining Chozo Ghosts lock the doors and materialize into the room, prepared to stop their Newborn at any cost.
They are so far gone that they fail to recognize her as their Hatchling, or even as the Defender they so fiercely prophesied would come to save their planet. It is these utterly corrupted, mindless remnants of the once omnipotent Chozo race that Samus eventually does battle with. It is unclear how much dwindling sanity, if any, the Chozo Ghosts retained at this point.īy the time Samus Aran touches down on Tallon IV, it is presumed that all of the Chozo Ghosts have either passed into a merciful-but-unknown transcendental death or have succumbed to incomprehensible lunacy at the hands of Phazon. When the Space Pirates encroached on various Chozo holy sites in their search for the Artifacts, the Chozo Ghosts were swift to respond few pirates survived these encounters. The arrival of the Space Pirates on Tallon IV marked the final hours of the planet's Chozo population, with the last few sane Chozo Ghosts chronicling their demise and hiding the Artifacts from the pirates, before slipping into madness themselves. These fallen Chozo - known as the Turned by the declining number of ghosts who still clung to sanity - drifted helplessly across time and space, serving the parasitic will of the Phazon to disrupt the Artifacts that held the Worm at Bay. Slowly, it ate away at their transcended minds, blurring the past, present, and future into a maddening state of dimensional flux. Yet, for all their extradimensional knowledge and power, the Chozo Ghosts could not protect themselves from the Great Poison's corruption. Now roaming the ruins of their civilization once more, but trapped and confused in a state of ethereal half-existence by the Phazon, the Chozo Ghosts used what little power they could conjure as specters to build the Cradle and the Cipher in a last-stand attempt to halt any further corruption of their planet. The event was so violent that it ripped the Chozo from their peaceful transcendence, casting them back to Tallon IV as shadows of the mortal forms they had left behind. From their dreaming state beyond time and space, they witnessed the impact of Phaaze's Leviathan with Tallon IV and the subsequent contamination of their most sacred planet with Phazon. Eons before the events of Metroid Prime, the Chozo dwelling on Tallon IV had succeeded in their unique mission: discovering the truths of the universe and withdrawing from the illusion of the mortal world.
