Tallon Metroids are a variation of
Metroid that developed naturally on

Portals are dimensional anomalies from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. They are found on Aether and Dark Aether and act as gateways between the two dimensions. Most of them were created when a Leviathan struck the surface of Aether, creating its dark twin. Samus often uses them to travel from Aether to Dark Aether and vice versa while on her quest to save the Luminoth, making them extremely important.
