Forum:Gorea Theories

Ever since I played through Metroid Prime Hunters in Story Mode, I've been wondering about something.... Is Gorea a Phazon entity? There's some in-game evidence for and against this theory.

For - Gorea arrived on Alinos via a comet which crashed into the planet. Comets and   Meteors are sometimes confused in fiction. Therefore, this could have been a Leviathan. Gorea seems to have some of the same qualities as the Metroid Prime. It can absorb other technologies and use them, it feeds on energy, and it has a hidden core essence. Also, in the final battle with Gorea, there is a toxic moat around the middle of the room that some what resembles the Phazon-corrupted water in the Chozo Ruins. Gorea also seems to be able to reproduce a certain kind of creature to help it in the battle.

Against - If a Leviathan had impacted on Alinos, it would have spread Phazon across the planet. Also, the Impact Crater would have been much bigger than the one depicted in the game. Plus, some of Gorea's qualities don't seem quite right for being a Phazon entity.

So, any thoughts? I would like to know whether other people believe that Gorea is from Phaaze.
