The Chozo Ruins are the remains of a great civilization that Samus visits in Metroid Prime. Once the home of the Chozo race of Tallon IV, the Ruins were abandoned after the initial Phazon incident.[1] Most of the water in the ruins is poisonous and deals damage to Samus when she comes in contact with it as a result of contamination.[2] The water purifies after the defeat of Flaahgra. Chozo Ghosts - Chozo corrupted by Phazon - inhabit many religious sites after the purification and respawn after Samus leaves a room in which they abide.[3]
The Chozo Ruins have the most upgrades in the game, as well as five Energy Tanks and twenty Missile Expansions. The area also has most of the Chozo Lore. The most common creatures in the Ruins are the Beetle, the Plated Beetle, War Wasps, Scarabs, Chozo Ghosts, Stone Toads, Shriekbats, and Reaper Vines. The bosses of the area are the Hive Mecha, a Plated Beetle, the Incinerator Drone, and Flaahgra. Surprisingly, the Ruins do not hold the most Chozo Artifacts in the game. The Artifacts that are found in the Ruins are Lifegiver, Wild, and World.

Though we perceived this from beyond space and time, it was but a curiosity; a brief flare in the infinite march of the universe. But the meteor brought with it corruption. A Great Poison burst forth into the land, clawing at life with such violence that we were ripped from our peaceful state and find ourselves wandering as shadows of the mortal forms we left behind, searching for why we are here." —Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime)

It is the jewel of the Chozo, the life-giver, and yet its waters speak of a clouded future. As we come to understand the paths of time and space more clearly, we have begun to glimpse rough tatters of past and future, glittering behind reality like soft lights behind a curtain. We have seen the fountain in these glimpses, pouring darkness instead of water, and we cannot guess what the visions mean." —Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime)
- ↑ "Many Chozo have gone beyond now, and this is a mercy. Those of us who remain suffer in dimensional flux, drifting helplessly across time and space, guided by unseen and inexorable currents. The Chozo who cling to sanity fight the tide, but our minds are weakening. Soon we will all be like the Turned, Chozo who have been utterly corrupted by the Great Poison. The Turned still hold to their Chozo forms, but their minds are black with fell intentions. Gone is their respect for life. They honor only destruction, and seek to disrupt the Artifacts holding the Great Poison at bay. All life taunts them, and they do not rest. Before long, they will be all that remain of the Chozo here." —Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime)
