[[Samus Aran|Samus]] visits Torvus Bog shortly after returning the [[Light of Aether]] to the [[Energy Controller]] in [[Agon Wastes]]. Along with the native creatures, Samus encounters [[Space Pirate]]s on multiple occasions. Torvus is separated into a swampy overworld and a flooded subterranean temple, and the excess of water here impedes her movement until she acquires the [[Gravity Boost]] just before engaging the [[Alpha Blogg]] in battle. The overworld has a diverse ecosystem, housing both small creatures such as [[Krocuss]] and large predators such as the [[Grenchler]]. | |||
