[[File:Stalactite.jpg|thumb|The first stalactite puzzle of ''Metroid Prime''.]]

'''Stalactites''' are cone-like rock formations that hang on the ceilings of caves. Their opposites are Stalacmites, which are mounted on the floors of caves. Stalactites appear very frequently in the ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' series, however only becoming part of a puzzle aspect in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. Found in [[Phendrana Drifts]] and [[Magmoor Caverns]], they can be ruptured with a [[Missile]] and fall down, serving as a platform, and occasionally, kill an enemy such as a [[Magmoor]] or [[Puffer|Puffers]]. This form of completing tasks to gain access to new areas is similar to [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. Stalactites are a form of research that can be recorded in [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] [[Logbook]], however, if she dislodges all of the stalactites she can find and does not scan them beforehand, the scan will be unavailable.
