The Chozo are a race of highly intelligent, bird-like extraterrestrials. They raised Samus Aran after the death of her parents and the entire K-2L colony. Their history and fate are an overall mystery, although many mentions and evidence of their existence are present throughout the Metroid series.
Metroid Prime
In Metroid Prime, the Chozo play a significant role in the storyline and gameplay elements of the game. Samus can download translated Chozo Lore to her Logbook, and this lore provides information about the Chozo's experiences on Tallon IV and some of their collective philosophies and prophecies. Chozo structures and statues can be seen all over Tallon IV, especially in the Chozo Ruins area. They mention a "Hatchling" multiple times, as if in prophecy. This hatchling is almost definitely Samus. Throughout Samus's adventure on Tallon IV, she encounters a number of Chozo Ghosts, and she is forced to kill these beings. However, these corrupted Chozo are able to help Samus defeat Meta Ridley, and reestablish the transport into the Impact Crater
Colonization of Elysia
According to Lore entries, the Chozo began the colonization of the planet Elysia and the construction of SkyTown roughly 1500 years before the events of the Metroid series. The Chozo created an area with individual Research Pods with what appears to be rocket engines under them, allowing them to hover. As the Chozo added on more to SkyTown, they spent great amounts of time for research and studies. This inspired them to create mechanoids to build and perform maintenance to the facility, while the Chozo studied space and its quantities.[1]
The mechanoids, dubbed as Elysians, were created about 50 years after SkyTown was first being built.[2]
The First Elysian was given self-awareness by the Chozo and marked Year One of the Elysian race.[2] The Chozo sent Observation Satellites through the regions of space to further study the stars.[3] A Chozo researcher discovered an unknown planet that was extremely far away, even in Chozo measurements.[3] The Planet was revealed to be a living sentient, although the rest of the data was lost before any more could be revealed.[3]
400 years after the Elysian debut, the Chozo departed from the Planet so that other races may use the SkyTown to learn of their knowledge and the Elysians may find answers to the mystery of the unknown planet.[4] The Chozo then began to colonize the Planet Tallon IV, and was there that a massive object collided into the planet. This was recorded by the Elysians as they were in stasis 200 years after their creators' departure, caused by the lack of critical supplies, and stored in their memories in "dreams".[5] The Elysians remained in their slumber for 835 years.[6]

Seeing a need for assistance, they created us. The First Elysian, built by Chozo hands, stepped out of the mechanicreche 1,450.82 years ago. Crude by our current standards, the First was soon given the greatest gift of all by the Chozo. To better assist the creators, the First was given self-awareness. To all other Elysians, the First shared the Chozo gift. This event marks year One of the Elysian reckoning." —SkyTown Data - Gift (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)

From this facility they launched observation satellites, firing them into the heavens toward distant worlds. These satellites returned information that allowed them to analyze the various phenomena occurring across the cosmos. Through this process they were able to satisfy their intellectual appetite, one planet at a time. One day, a Chozo Searcher happened upon a very rare discovery. A once-thought-lost satellite delivered information on a distant world. It was incredibly far away, even by Chozo reckoning. Study of the stellar object revealed that it was, in many ways, a planet - and yet also sentient. Alive. This chance event was brief, and the information being collected was lost before the true identity of the planet was revealed." —SkyTown Data - Discovery (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)

We were to stand vigil and watch over the station until the time when others seeking knowledge and enlightenment arrived. With their departure came one last request from the Chozo Searcher - to continue exploring the skies for the answers to the mysterious planet. We gave her our word and resumed her tireless search. Day after day we hunted for the answers she desperately sought, but our efforts yielded nothing. We failed." —Sky Town Data - Alone (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)

We created smaller mechanoids to process fuel from the atmosphere of Elysia, but they proved unable to produce a sufficient supply. Unable to secure the necessary resources to sustain ourselves, we entered a state of hibernation to preserve our remaining stores of energy and parts. While we slumbered, the data collected by the station's equipment was fed to us in dreams." —SkyTown Data - Slumber (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)

A number of aliens, well armed and armored, had penetrated our battle screens and entered Elysia Station. Per protocol, we were revived from stasis to defend our home. As we mustered for battle, the aliens communicated with us and declared themselves to be under the banner of peace. A truce was called, and soon we began negotiations with the Galactic Federation. The Treaty of Elysia began a new era of prosperity for us." —SkyTown Data - Federation (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)
