'''Tallon Overworld''' makes up most of [[Tallon IV|Tallon IV's]] surface in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] first arrives there after the destruction of ''[[Frigate Orpheon]]''.

==Environment==
===Flora and Terrain===
[[file:Overworld 04.png|thumb|left|200px|Flora in the overhang]]
The Overworld is a rainforest with stereotypical high amounts of rainfall and a constant overcast sky. The thin canopy is primarily composed of indigenous [[Glowing Spidervine]]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, [[Lichen|radioactive lichen]],<ref>{{cite|This lichen seems to be giving off low levels of radiation. No matches found in flora and fauna database.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> [[Blastcap]]s, [[Saturnine]]s, and other fungi; a carpet of mosses, [[Stone Creeper]]s, and [[Tallon Fern]]s; various kinds of weed including [[Guide Stem]]s, [[Tangle Weed|Tangle]] and [[Venom Weed]]; and more volatile plantforms such as [[Bloodflower]]s, and [[Sap Sac]]s and their underwater relatives [[Aqua Sac]]s. 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.

Local topography is craggy and overgrown, and includes bracken-filled caverns and groves, ancient ruins and [[Half Pipe]]s evidencing [[Chozo]] colonization,<ref>{{cite|The stone surface this lichen grows on appears too smooth to be natural.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> and various water features including falls and lagoons.

===Biosphere===
Local wildlife thrives in the diverse, moist environment, and makes their homes in the water, under the ground, and on the crags. [[Beetle]]s and [[Zoomer]]s are common land dwelling enemies, usually burrowed in wait for prey or foraging, respectively. [[Geemer]]s, an evolutionary offshoot of Zoomers, and [[Seedling]]s, while less common, are also present. Marine lifeforms such as [[Jelzap]]s and [[Aqua Reaper]]s make their homes in larger bodies of water, as do swarms of [[Tallon Crab]]s.

==Landmarks==
===Artifact Temple===

{{Main|Artifact Temple}}
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.

This is also the location of [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] battle with [[Meta Ridley]].

===Crashed Frigate===

{{Main|Frigate Orpheon}}
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.

===Life Grove===

{{Main|Life Grove}}
The Life Grove is an ancient Chozo religious site nestled in the southeast section of the Overworld, directly south of the [[Great Tree Hall]]. As such, it contains typical Chozo architecture that is both grandiose and unobtrusive to the natural habitat.

The large room surrounds two trees and several water features. It contains the [[X-Ray Visor]] [[upgrade]] and the [[Artifact of Chozo]].

==Obstacles and Acquisitions==
Samus only visits a small portion of the Overworld on her mission to the planet. While there are less upgrades in the Overworld than in the other regions of Tallon IV, it is the location of the pivotal [[Artifact Temple]] situated above the [[Impact Crater]]. There are several [[Missile Expansion]]s and two [[Energy Tank]]s in the Overworld, as well as the [[Space Jump Boots]] and the [[X-Ray Visor]] upgrades, and two [[Chozo Artifact]]s. The crashed Frigate ''Orpheon'' covers a large portion of what Samus explores in the area.

The only boss in the Overworld is [[Meta Ridley]].

==Trivia==
*The Tallon Overworld has the most music tracks in the series, six to be exact: the two main themes, the Artifact Temple theme, the [[Save Station]] music, Item acquisition fanfare, Elevator room music, and the two themes from the crashed ''Orpheon''.
