In addition to the trademark simplistic, unobtrusive, natural materials that make up the Ruins, other distinctive Chozo designs make them unique. Smooth, carved [[Half Pipe]]s, testaments to the painstaking craftsmanship of Chozo builders, appear in several chambers.

Complex [[Runic Symbol]]s and translucent, holographic runic messages capable of producing nonpolluting, self-sustaining illumination are also found here.<ref>{{cite|That which fouls the waters seeks the Sun.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The Great Poison comes from Tallon's core.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Only the holder of twelve shall face the Worm.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The Great Poison corrupts all, even the Chozo.|Hologram|Metroid Prime}}</ref> | In addition to the trademark simplistic, unobtrusive, natural materials that make up the Ruins, other distinctive Chozo designs make them unique.
