This article is about the Chozo Ghosts appearing in Metroid Prime. For the boss in Zero Mission, see Ruins Test.

Chozo Ghosts, referred to as The Turned in Chozo Lore, are spectral entities that haunt areas of spiritual significance on Tallon IV.[1] The corrupting effects of Phazon slowly drove most of the Chozo insane, causing them to attack even Samus.[2] Their ability to phase in and out of the visible spectrum makes the X-Ray Visor an excellent tool for tracking their movements. They are immune to all nature-related beams and weapons except for the Power Beam and the Super Missile.[3]

Chozo Ghosts are found in large amounts of the Chozo Ruins, where Samus first encounters them. When Samus attempts to enter the Impact Crater, Ghosts that have apparently regained their sanity help her enter the crater.

Logbook Entry[edit | edit source]

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime: Chozo Ghost
First Location: Chozo Ruins - Hall of the Elders
Chozo Ghost Logbook Left.jpg
Spectral entity. Bioelectric field invulnerable to natural energies. As these entities phase in and out of existence, the only reliable way to track them accurately is with x-ray scanning. This partially phased nature makes them invulnerable to natural energy types, such as fire, ice, and electricity. Their aggressive and erratic behavior is most likely due to the corrupting effects of Phazon in the Tallon IV environment. They appear to be drawn to Chozo religious sites, where they wreak havoc upon anything that dares enter the area.[3]

Chozo Lore[edit | edit source]

Location: Phendrana Drifts - Phendrana Canyon
The Turned
Many Chozo have gone beyond now, and this is a mercy. Those of us who remain suffer in dimensional flux, drifting helplessly across time and space, guided by unseen and inexorable currents. The Chozo who cling to sanity fight the tide, but our minds are weakening. Soon we will all be like the Turned, Chozo who have been utterly corrupted by the Great Poison. The Turned still hold to their Chozo forms, but their minds are black with fell intentions. Gone is their respect for life. They honor only destruction, and seek to disrupt the Artifacts holding the Great Poison at bay. All life taunts them, and they do not rest. Before long, they will be all that remain of the Chozo here.[2]

Pirate Data[edit | edit source]

Location: Phazon Mines
Chozo Ghosts
There have been numerous incidents involving spectral entities at Chozo Ruins sites. Several personnel have been assaulted by these Chozo Ghosts; few have survived. Survivors speak of swift attacks from nowhere, brief sitings of the enemy, then nothing, only to be followed by another attack. Science Team believes these attacks are in response to our efforts to recover Chozo relics and Artifacts. Somehow, these entities are able to interact with the physical world, and it appears they wish to keep their Artifacts to themselves. We will make them pay for such arrogance, for even ghosts can be destroyed.[1]

They appear to be drawn to Chozo shrines or temples, where they wreak havoc upon anything that dares to enter the area. Chozo Ghosts are spectral entities whose partially-phased nature makes them invulnerable to natural energy types, such as fire, ice, and electricity.[4]
