'''Phazon Corruption''' is | '''Phazon Corruption''' is an unsafe, hazardous state in which any living bioform can go through if exposed to excessive amounts of deadly [[Phazon]] radiation. It is most likely to occur when one is donning a [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|Phazon Enhancement Device]] and misusing or abusing its devastating power. Corruption infects living organisms and even vegetation on contact causing aggressiveness combined with raw power and a hunger for more Phazon, similar to a drug addiction. Phazon can also eat away at deceased bioforms, similar to that of decomposition. This is quite noticable in the [[GFS Valhalla]]. | ||

[[Hypermode]] is a state in which an organism can amplify themselves and their weaponry with Phazon intentionally with a Phazon Enhancement Device (PED). This form can be manually activated and deactivated at will by the user. However, if one remains in Hypermode for an extended period of time without venting Phazon levels, the user will become Corrupted and will have a limited amount of time to deplete all Phazon | [[Hypermode]] is a state of being in which an organism can amplify themselves and their weaponry with Phazon intentionally with a Phazon Enhancement Device (PED). This form can be manually activated and deactivated at will by the user. However, if one remains in Hypermode for an extended period of time without venting Phazon levels, the user will become Corrupted and will have a limited amount of time to deplete all Phazon via rapid weapon discharge or excretory means. If the Phazon is not fully rid from the victim's bodily system, the organism will become permanently Corrupted, and therefore become extremely aggressive along with the other symptoms of Phazon Corruption. If one's Hypermode system is unable to be shut down but has not become permanently corrupted, then an auto-vent will ensue at twenty-five seconds of use. The auto-vent does not inflict any harm on one with the PED suit except the venting of energy tanks, which is normal in the use of the Hypermode function. | ||

**Extreme nausea and vomiting | |||
**Moderate distortion of facial features | |||

*Stage 3: 75% Phazon Corruption | |||
**Extreme uncooperation | |||
***Lack of reliance on trusted allies | |||
**Increased hunger for Phazon | |||
**Excessive use of Hypermode | |||
**Closer relevance to Dark Samus | |||
***Intense distortion of the pupil | |||
***Increased Phazon growths on face | |||
***Change of facial expression | |||
*Stage 4: Above 75% Phazon Corruption (Corruption on [[Phaaze]]) | |||

The main symptom of Phazon Corruption is insanity and lust for power. In some occasions, notably with [[Samus Aran]], becoming Corrupted will transform the victim into another organism altogether, Samus becoming a twin image of [[Dark Samus]]. If one is to be in control of Corruption and have an ample supply of Phazon with them, they can use Phazon Corruption to manipulate other organisms and put them under their own control.<ref name="Stowaway">{{cite|Our attempts to intercept the Federation ship departing Aether were unsuccessful. With them went a collection of Phazon, the first to fall into Federation hands. They foolishly left most of the Phazon behind, allowing us to quickly collect what we could. But in our haste we took more than mere Phazon. Our scanners have detected the remains of Dark Samus, who has revived herself within our Phazon storage. | The main symptom of Phazon Corruption is insanity and lust for power.

The [[X Parasite]] shares certain characteristics with Phazon Corruption, but is however significantly different. X Parasites can take control of a docile organism and amplify its aggressiveness, similar to Corruption. However, the X are separate organisms of their own, and can replicate any other organism that has already been infected. The reaction to the X Parasite's effects is nearly identical to that of Corruption.<ref name="Old Bird">{{cite|The creature took on the host's memories, appearance, abilities, everything.
