Torizo: Difference between revisions

A '''Torizo''' is an animated [[Chozo]] statue that appears in ''[[Super Metroid]]''.  [[Samus Aran]] fights two of them on [[Zebes]]; the first appears in [[Crateria]] and comes to life after she takes the [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s.  As the battle progresses, it will lose its head.  

 

The second, golden version (colloquially referred to as "Golden Chorizo") appears in the lower regions of [[Norfair]], and is more powerful than the first; notably, it has the unique ability to catch [[Super Missile]]s and throw them back at Samus. It also has more attacks and a wider variety of powers. It can spew Item Balls from its mouth like the previous one (these can be shot out of the air for health and missiles), which explode upon landing on the ground. It can also fire shockwaves from its arm, which are hard to dodge and do lots of damage. It is faster and more mobile than the first, and it dodges missiles. To defeat it, the [[Charge Beam]] is the best way to do it quickly.
