'''Torvus Bog''' is a swamp area that makes up much of Planet [[Aether]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. It is a dark, rainy habitat with little threats in its light Aether version. However, it was a [[Luminoth]] section under it that it completely submerged and filled with enemies, much like ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime's]]'' fallen ''[[Frigate Orpheon]]''. The area hold a temple with the energy that {{samus}} needs to restore Aether and rid it of its [[Dark Aether]] counterpart. The [[Super Missile]] and [[Gravity Boost]] are aquired here.


==Torvus Bog==
'''Torvus Bog''' is a swampy area on the planet [[Aether]]. It was once a forest, but the impact of a [[Leviathan]] caused it to flood.<ref>{{cite|The starborne terror burnt through the heavens and struck Aether with and untold might. We all expected the world to shatter...but Aether held. There was great devastation, however. The green plains of Agon were scorched forever, and the forest of Torvus was engulfed and wracked by the sea. The skies burned for days, casting darkness over the land.|Luminoth Lore|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> Torvus Bog was the second [[Luminoth]] domain to fall to the Ing after the [[Energy Transfer Module]] was stolen.<ref>{{cite|The Ing turned their focus on the Torvus Bog next, sending a vast force to lay siege to the temple there. Thousands upon thousands of Ing were destroyed by our warriors, yet they kept coming until there was no Luminoth alive to offer resistance in Torvus. On that day, the energy of Torvus was taken to Dark Aether, and our hopes for survival grew dim.|Luminoth Lore|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref>
The normal Torvus consists of rainy swamps and lakes filled with [[Hydling|Hydlings]]. Some jungle-like areas as well as areas with Luminoth structures appear. The [[Grenchler]] is a common enemy in these areas, as well as [[Krocuss|Krocusses]], [[Sporb|Sporbs]], and [[Shrieker|Shriekers]]. The area was first known as Torvus Forest, but after the [[Leviathan]] devastated most of the planet, water from its oceans flooded the area, turning it into a bog. Under the area is a Luminoth station filled with many dangerous aquatic enemies, such as [[Blogg|Bloggs]] and [[Bloggling|Blogglings]], Hydlings, and [[Preed|Preeds]]
 
Torvus is separated into a swampy overworld and a flooded subterranean section. The overworld is home to a variety of small creatures such as [[Krocuss]], though it is also home to large predators such as the [[Grenchler]]. The subterranean portion is home to a large amount of aggressive [[Blogg|Bloggs]].
 
{{Samus}} visits Torvus Bog shortly after returning the [[Light of Aether]] to the [[Energy Controller]] in [[Agon Wastes]]. The large amounts of water here slow her movement until she acquires the [[Gravity Boost]]. Along with the native creatures, Samus encounters [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] on multiple occasions.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
