In addition to the trademark simplistic, unobtrusive, natural materials that make up the Ruins, other distinctive Chozo designs make them unique. Smooth, carved [[Half Pipe]]s, testaments to the painstaking craftsmanship of Chozo builders, appear in several chambers. Mammoth, sometimes luminescent, etchings of ancient Chozo runes are situated decoratively on walls, platforms, and floors throughout the Ruins, and complex [[Runic Symbol]]s and translucent, holographic runic messages capable of producing nonpolluting, self-sustaining illumination are also found here.<ref>{{cite|That which fouls the waters seeks the Sun.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The Great Poison comes from Tallon's core.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Only the holder of twelve shall face the Worm.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The Great Poison corrupts all, even the Chozo.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref>

While the Chozo on Tallon IV chose to live without advanced technology, metal hallways connecting two areas through large rock masses are sometimes used, and hallways lined with large pipes venting steam evidence some sort of steam powered system in the area, though its function is not specified.
