Burrow

Burrow is a room in Bryyo Cliffside. The Burrow is a network of tunnels, home to various creatures. Several Fuel Gel crystals block the tunnels. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Description
The Burrow is a collection of tunnels in a rock face. The tunnels are half exposed, suggesting they may have been created by the local tunneling bioforms. The name of the room also supports this idea. Many red fungal growths are present around the room. Some of the tunnels are sumberged in liquid Fuel Gel, while others are blocked by a crystaline formations of the substance. Behind the submerged tunnel a cave full of Fuel Gel can be seen. Samus can remove most of the crystal obtacles with the Morph Ball Bombs, however some of the crystals are grey in colour and can not be destroyed by Samus' weaponary. Instead, they can be destroyed by the ignition of the standard coloured crytals, if nearby. The centre of the Burrow is home to some odd plants that resemble venus flytraps that seem to possess some levels of sentience. If their leaves are touched by Samus' Morph Ball they will twist and withdraw in defence (although there is a notable delayed reaction).

The bottom right of the burrow is also semi-industrialised, with the tunnels being plated over with metal structures rather than just formed out of the rock face. A pipe to the left of this sector feeds into a part of the rock face containing Fuel Gel. It is likely that the Galactic Federation used the Burrow as a source of Fuel Gel. Crystal growths are present in the tunnels here as well, indicating that these structures were built a long time ago. A small panel covering the right-most vertical tunnel in this area will retract if Samus touches it, causing her to drop below to the Burrow's exit.
