'''Stalactites''' are cone-like rock formations that hang on the ceilings of caves. Stalactites appear .frequently in the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series, but only served roles in a puzzle aspect in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. Found in [[Phendrana Drifts]] and [[Magmoor Caverns]], they can be ruptured with a [[Missile]] and fall down, serving as a platform and, occasionally, killing an enemy such as a [[Magmoor]] or [[Puffer]]s in the process.


Stalactites are a form of research that can be recorded in [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] [[Logbook]]. However, if she dislodges all of the stalactites she can find and does not scan them beforehand, the scan will become unavailable.

Found in [[Phendrana Drifts]] and [[Magmoor Caverns]], they are vulnerable to concussive blasts and can be ruptured with a [[Missile]]. The resulting instability will cause it to fall down, allowing it to be used as a platform and, occasionally, killing an enemy such as a [[Magmoor]] in the process.
 
Stalactites can also be used to impact the area beneath them with significant force. A [[Missile Expansion]] trapped beneath the ice in Phendrana's [[Frost Cave]] can be obtained by dislodging a Stalactite nearby and fracturing the otherwise impermeable ice.

===Ice Stalactite===
[[file:Stalactite mp1 Screenshot 02.png|thumb|right|The Ice Stalactite in the Gravity Chamber]]
One Stalactite sheathed in ice in Phendrana's [[Gravity Chamber]] is made of several types in mineral deposits, including a volcanic rock, that make it incredibly strong against concussive blasts. If [[Samus Aran|Samus]] introduces extreme heat from the [[Plasma Beam (Metroid Prime series)|Plasma Beam]], however, the formation will collapse, revealing the path to another Missile Expansion.
