The underwater temple is a testament to the ingenuity and beauty of Luminoth architecture, much of it functional as well as decorative. Besides powered statues that are manipulated by [[Bomb Slot]]s and [[Spinner]] devices, there are [[Kinetic Orb Cannon]]s designed to work in a submerged environment in conjunction with tube systems, magnetic [[Spider Ball Track|rail systems]], [[Concealed Movement Pad]]s, and even an interactive [[Luminoth Laser Emitter]]. The temple is also infested with the indigenous aquatic predator, the [[Blogg]].
