'''Flaahgra''' is a creature living in the [[Chozo Ruins]] during the events of ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. It is a specimen of an unknown species of large flower that suffers from heavy mutation due to Phazon and the source of the toxicity of the water in the region. When it is defeated, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] acquires the [[Varia Suit]].

When Samus first confronts Flaahgra, a large reflective disc shifts and begins reflecting sunlight onto the flower that makes up Flaahgra's base. This causes the central, insectoid mass of Flaahgra to become active and grow rapidly.

Using the [[Charge Beam]] or [[Missile]]s, Samus can knock the reflective disc back to its deactivated position. The reduction of sunlight shining on Flaahgra will cause it to become weak and collapse. When this happens, the thorned roots of Flaahgra retract, allowing Samus to use the [[Morph Ball]] to access one of four unprotected weak points at its lower root system. She can then use a [[Morph Ball Bomb]] to damage Flaahgra. The bomb will cause an explosive reaction that will burn the central insectoid mass, which will shrivel and appear destroyed. However, two of the reflective discs will activate at this point, and Flaahgra will be revived.

When Samus first confronts Flaahgra, a large reflective disc shifts and begins reflecting sunlight onto the flower that makes up Flaahgra's base. This causes the central, insectoid mass of Flaahgra to become active. Using the [[Charge Beam]] or [[Missile]]s, Samus can shift the reflective disc back to its deactivated position. This will reduce the sunlight shining on Flaahgra, causing it to become weak and collapse. At this point, the thorned roots of Flaahgra retract, allowing Samus to use the [[Morph Ball]] to access one of four weak points at its base. She can then use a [[Morph Ball Bomb]] to damage Flaahgra. This will appear to kill the central mass of Flaahgra. However, two of the reflective discs will activate at this point, and Flaahgra will be revived. This cycle will repeat several times, each time with one more disc activated. When Samus damages all four of Flaahgra's weak points, it will be defeated permanently.
This cycle will repeat several times, each time with one more disc activated, until all four are discs are activated at once. When Samus damages all four of Flaahgra's weak points, it will be defeated permanently and the water bubbling from the fountain will be purified.


Flaahgra may attack Samus, either by swiping at her with its claws, or spraying a green fluid that spawns poisonous plants. Once Samus has deactivated one or more of the reflective discs, Flaahgra will sometimes swipe at the discs, reactivating them. Samus can prevent this by firing her weapons at Flaahgra, as sufficient damage will temporarily incapacitate it. However, she can only cause permanent damage to Flaahgra by attacking the weak points at its base.

Once Samus has deactivated one or more of the reflective discs, Flaahgra will sometimes swipe at the discs with its scythes, reactivating them. Samus can prevent this by firing her weapons at Flaahgra, as sufficient damage will temporarily incapacitate it. However, she can only cause permanent damage to Flaahgra by attacking the weak points at its base.
