The thin canopy is primarily composed of indigenous [[Guide Stem]]s and [[Red Starburst]]s, the respective bioluminescence and color of which lend some variety to an otherwise monochromatic overhang. The Overworld floor boasts lush foliage, including exotic, radioactive lichen,<ref>{{cite|This lichen seems to be giving off low levels of radiation.

The tendency of native plantforms to adapt quickly to changes in geography evidence their hardy nature, as is illustrated by the permeation of foliage in the Crashed Frigate. | ||

The Artifact Temple, constructed by the [[Chozo]] after a [[Leviathan|meteor]] brought the [[Phazon|Great Poison]] to Tallon IV, hovers over the infamous [[Impact Crater]]. The holiest of Chozo religious sites on the planet, the Artifact Temple was constructed with an abundance of [[Chozo Statue]]s that work in conjunction with the [[Chozo Artifact|Cipher]] to open the way to the Impact Crater. The [[Chozo Lore]] entries entitled "Contain" and "Prophecy of Light" are found here. | The Artifact Temple, constructed by the [[Chozo]] after a [[Leviathan|meteor]] brought the [[Phazon|Great Poison]] to Tallon IV, hovers over the infamous [[Impact Crater]].

After Samus defeats the [[Parasite Queen]] and escapes the Frigate, it crashes on Tallon IV. The abundance of native marine wildlife that made the Frigate their habitat after the crash indicates that the area it impacted was probably a large body of water, possibly a lake or sea. | After Samus defeats the [[Parasite Queen]] and escapes the Frigate, it crashes on Tallon IV.

The Life Grove is an ancient Chozo religious site nestled in the southeast section of the Overworld, directly south of the [[Great Tree Hall]].

Samus only visits a small portion of the Overworld on her mission to the planet.
