Flora and Fauna Databank

Flora and Fauna Databank Scan data mentioning the Databank

Game(s) Metroid Prime (mentioned) Uses Utilized during Scan Visor analysis

The Flora and Fauna Databank is an extensive database used for analyzing vegetation and wildlife. Samus Aran accesses this database in conjunction with the Scan Visor to identify various species encountered on other planets. The databank may have been compiled by the Chozo and included with the Power Suit, or downloaded from another reliable source, such as the Galactic Federation. It may be connected to the GF Database.

There is no match in the flora and fauna databank for the radioactive lichen Samus encounters on Tallon IV, which may indicate the lichen was a previously undiscovered species, or such a thorough mutation of a preexisting species that the analysis technology was fooled. If the latter is the case, the presence of a Phazon-laden meteor in the ecosystem may have been to blame.
