The Magmoor Caverns are fraught with environmental hazards, specifically overwhelming heat, extruding [[Flame Jet|flame jets]], and abundant lava lakes, which often necessitate the use of the [[Varia Suit]] and other [[upgrade]]s, such as the [[Spider Ball]] and [[Grapple Beam]], to safely venture deep within them. Several caves have large [[Stalactite]] formations that can be dislodged to create platforms for navigational purposes, as well as floating platforms which will often descend when burdened with too much weight. | The Magmoor Caverns are fraught with environmental hazards, specifically overwhelming heat, extruding [[Flame Jet|flame jets]], and abundant lava lakes, which often necessitate the use of the [[Varia Suit]] and other [[upgrade]]s, such as the [[Spider Ball]] and [[Grapple Beam]], to safely venture deep within them.

The abundance of magma pools in the area attracted the [[Space Pirate]]s, who were looking for new power sources. Eventually they set up a geothermal processing operation in the [[Monitor Station]], protected by [[Auto Defense Turret]]s, using [[Immersion Piston]]s; it was so successful that a recommendation was sent to the Space Pirate Energy Command calling for deactivation of their [[Central Dynamo]] in favor of total reliance on geothermal power.<ref>{{cite|Immersion pistons are leaching power from the magma pools as planned.

While the whole area is below every other area in the game, three rooms are located above the surface, those being the [[Triclops Pit]], Monitor Station, and [[Magmoor Workstation]]. | While the whole area is below every other area in the game, three rooms are located above the surface, those being the [[Triclops Pit]], Monitor Station, and [[Magmoor Workstation]]. | ||

The most common enemies of Magmoor Caverns are Magmoors, [[Puffer]]s, [[Triclops]], [[Grizby]]s, and [[ | Local bioforms are hardy and aggressive. The most common enemies of Magmoor Caverns are the Magmoors, [[Puffer]]s, [[Triclops]], [[Grizby]]s, and [[Puddle Spore]]s. All these species are adapted to the intense heat of the environment and some of them even inhabit the lava itself. | ||
The Caverns are too harsh to sustain plantforms, and consequently all local species are carnivorous predators or scavengers. | |||

This area is the only one in ''Metroid Prime'' that does not contain a [[:Category:Bosses|boss]]. It also has the least amount of [[upgrade]]s, besides the Impact Crater, the only ones being the [[Ice Spreader]] and the [[Plasma Beam]]. There are two [[Missile Expansion|Missile Expansions]], two [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]], and one [[Power Bomb|Power Bomb Expansion]]. | |||
