Local wildlife thrives in the diverse, moist environment, and makes their homes in the water, under the ground, and on the crags. [[Beetle]]s and [[Zoomer]]s are common land dwelling enemies, usually burrowed in wait for prey or foraging, respectively. [[Geemer]]s, an evolutionary offshoot of Zoomers, and [[Seedling]]s, while less common, are also present. Marine lifeforms such as [[Jelzap]]s and [[Aqua Reaper]]s make their homes in larger bodies of water, as do swarms of [[Tallon Crab]]s.

The Artifact Temple, constructed by the [[Chozo]] after a [[Leviathan|meteor]] brought the [[Phazon|Great Poison]] to Tallon IV, hovers over the infamous [[Impact Crater]]. The holiest of Chozo religious sites on the planet, the Artifact Temple was constructed with an abundance of [[Chozo Statue]]s that work in conjunction with the [[Chozo Artifact|Cipher]] to open the way to the Impact Crater. The [[Chozo Lore]] entries entitled "Contain" and "Prophecy of Light" are found here.
 
This is also the location of [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] battle with [[Meta Ridley]].

After Samus defeats the [[Parasite Queen]] and escapes the Frigate, it crashes on Tallon IV. The abundance of native marine wildlife that made the Frigate their habitat after the crash indicates that the area it impacted was probably a large body of water, possibly a lake or sea.

{{Main|Life Grove}}
The Life Grove is an ancient Chozo religious site nestled in the southeast section of the Overworld, directly south of the [[Great Tree Hall]]. As such, it contains typical Chozo architecture that is both grandiose and unobtrusive to the natural habitat.
The large room surrounds two trees and several water features. It contains the [[X-Ray Visor]] [[upgrade]] and the [[Artifact of Chozo]].
