Magmoor Caverns

The Magmoor Caverns are an area of Tallon IV, located west of the Tallon Overworld, southwest of the Chozo Ruins, northwest of the Phazon Mines, and northeast of the Phendrana Drifts. It is geographically situated between all the areas that Samus visits in Metroid Prime, except for the Impact Crater, which is only accessible via the Overworld. The Magmoor caverns are very dangerous and lava filled, supporting such creatures as the eponymous Magmoors, Triclops, Puffers, Auto Defense Turrets, and even some Space Pirates.

Areas and Main Rooms
The Magmoor Caverns are, as a whole, long and narrow. There are only a few very large rooms, and most of it is subterranean, only three rooms being above the surface. Most of its rooms are superheated, and thus, Samus needs the temperature protection offered by the Varia Suit to traverse through it. The magma found here is extremely dangerous, and if Samus falls in, it will harm her no matter what suit she's in.

Trivia

 * The music in Magmoor Caverns is a remix of the Lower Norfair theme from Super Metroid.
 * A pinball version of this area is the only multiplayer board in Metroid Prime Pinball.
 * Magmoor Caverns connects to every other area of Tallon IV, excluding the Impact Crater.
 * It is possible to go to the first elevator to Phendrana Drifts without the Varia Suit by sequence breaking.
 * The word "Magmoor" is possibly a portmanteau of "magma" and "moor." However, it is unknown if the Magmoors were designed and named before, or after the location and the name attributed to them.
