'''Stalactites''' are cone-like rock formations that hang on the ceilings of caves. Their opposites are Stalacmites, which are mounted on the floors of caves. Stalactites appear very frequently in the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series, however only becoming part of 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, kill an enemy such as a [[Magmoor]] or [[Puffer|Puffers]]. This form of completing tasks to gain access to new areas is similar to [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. 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 be unavailable.

==Variations==
===Stalactites===
[[file:Magmoor mp1 Screenshot 03.png|thumb|right|200px|A Magmoor being crushed by a Stalactite]]
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.
