Cancerous rock nub



Cancerous rock stubs are a group of odd growths that can be seen in the Metroid Prime Lair. Though they are quickly destroyed by the Metroid Prime's first energy wave attack, they yield several Ultra Energy Capsules for Samus to collect. They are grey stem structures with veins of blue Phazon, and have an orange orb at their top seeming to consist of Red Phazon. It would seem that they also mirror the Chozo Totems found above the room in the Artifact Temple. They are named in concept art of the game.
