A Great Poison burst forth into the land, clawing at life with such violence that we were ripped from our peaceful state and find ourselves wandering as shadows of the mortal forms we left behind, searching for why we are here. 
— Chozo Lore
Phazon (called the Great Poison by the Chozo race) is an extremely radioactive and dangerous organic substance that can take on many forms. The mutagen is highly poisonous and corrosive, as contact with Phazon will result in immediate death or mutation in seconds.[1] Phazon spreads throughout the galaxy and manipulates organisms with Phazon Corruption. Many creatures can be Corrupted by Phazon and mutate completely. The toxic substance can destroy environments, and entire planets at that. Phazon was first detected on planet Tallon IV, although it has been spreading across the galaxy long before the Corruption of Tallon IV from its originating planet, Phaaze.[1] The plot of the Metroid Prime series revolves greatly around Phazon.
Details
Not much is known regarding the true nature of Phazon as a material substance. It is known for being highly radioactive and at the same time corrosive and biologically toxic, as well as even demonstrating low-level sentience. It has been used extensively by the Space Pirates for its effective mutagenic properties, of which they have used for mutating their species' (as well as many others) own genetic structure, to produce more powerful and even monstrous versions of themselves and others. During the course of Samus's visit to Phaaze, the Phazon inside of her even affected her genetic structure to the point where her ship's bio-scanners could not even recognize her. Phazon was also later adopted by the Galactic Federation for a short time, where it was converted into beam weaponry and adopted through the use of a Phazon Enhancement Device, or P.E.D. Suit.
