Gland



A gland is an organ inside a Leviathan Seed. They are present in all three Seed Landing Sites in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in groups of four on the floor. Samus can stand on these glands, which have what appear to be blue, porous pockets of Phazon energy. Scanning them reveals that these glands are capable of generating massive quantities of Phazon. In each Landing Site Samus finds either Scorchbugs, Phazon Leeches and Scritters crawling over the glands and the floor. Destroying all of the creatures will reward Samus with a Friend Voucher.

These glands were not seen in the Impact Crater, which is presumed to be what remained of Tallon IV's Leviathan after years of decay, nor were they seen anywhere on Aether or Dark Aether, although the presence of a Leviathan there was not apparent (and it is not clear if Samus ever encountered it at all).
