The Caverns are primarily subterranean and are widely considered a crossway in ''Metroid Prime'', supported by the fact that all areas of Tallon IV, except for the [[Impact Crater]], connect to it. Their name originates from the common lava-dwelling predator that inhabits the area, the [[Magmoor]]. | The Caverns are primarily subterranean and are widely considered a crossway in ''Metroid Prime'', supported by the fact that all areas of Tallon IV, except for the [[Impact Crater]], connect to it.

Several caves have large [[Stalactite]] formations that can be dislodged to create platforms for navigational purposes, as well as floating platforms which will often descend when burdened with too much weight. Pillars with weak structural integrity can be spotted with the [[X-Ray Visor]] and destroyed with [[Super Missile|powerful concussive weapons]], revealing items within. | ||
The abundance of magma pools in the area attracted the [[Space Pirate]]s, who were looking for new power sources. Eventually they set up a geothermal processing operation in the [[Monitor Station]], protected by [[Auto Defense Turret]]s and [[Flying Pirate]]s, using [[Immersion Piston]]s; it was so successful that a recommendation was sent to the Space Pirate | The abundance of magma pools in the area attracted the [[Space Pirate]]s, who were looking for new power sources. Eventually they set up a geothermal processing operation in the [[Monitor Station]], protected by [[Auto Defense Turret]]s and [[Flying Pirate]]s, using [[Immersion Piston]]s; it was so successful that a recommendation was sent to the Space Pirate Energy Command calling for deactivation of their [[Central Dynamo]] in favor of total reliance on geothermal power.<ref>{{cite|Immersion pistons are leaching power from the magma pools as planned.

While the whole area is below every other area in the game, three rooms are located above the surface, those being the [[Triclops Pit]], Monitor Station, and [[Magmoor Workstation]]. | While the whole area is below every other area in the game, three rooms are located above the surface, those being the [[Triclops Pit]], Monitor Station, and [[Magmoor Workstation]]. | ||
