Chozo bust

The Chozo bust of the unnamed Chozo, Transit Hub.

Chozo head statue training chamber

A Chozo bust in the Training Chamber.

Chozo busts appear in the Chozo Ruins, Tallon Overworld and the Chozo Ice Temple in Metroid Prime, and on SkyTown, Elysia in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. They depict the head of a Chozo and honor them.

In the Chozo Ice Temple, the busts represent Chozo architects, philosophers, warriors and shamans, with the shaman being made of Brinstone and vulnerable to Missiles. Two Chozo busts are also found in the Chapel Tunnel, but cannot be scanned and are part of the scenery.

In the Chozo Ruins' room the Training Chamber, three Chozo busts are present. Two high above a Half-pipe guard Bomb Slots while the center Chozo bust's mouth piece guards access to a Morph Ball tunnel leading to the Main Plaza (which ultimately leads to a Missile Expansion). Samus must activate a Bomb Slot after defeating two Chozo Ghosts within the room guarding the two nearby Bomb slots. The other Bomb Slot will both activate a lift and reveal a concealed Spider Ball Track leading to this room's Energy Tank. Because exactly two ghosts guard two Bomb Slots, it is possible that these ghosts are the same Chozo depicted in the two Bomb Slot busts.

A similar Chozo bust is placed within Life Grove, where Samus must defeat three Chozo Ghosts in order to blow open the mouth piece, revealing a small Morph Ball tunnel exiting out of this room. Though unnamed, the bust may represent the unnamed Chozo Ghost seen at the Artifact Temple representing the Artifact of Chozo.

Throughout SkyTown there are several busts with GF Database files, depicting the likenesses of Ou-Qua, Dryn and the Chozo Searcher. Many other unnamed busts can be seen within various rooms, most of which have varying features. There is also a bust that has deteriorated beyond recognition in Transit Hub; the bust is just above the impact point after the first Kinetic Orb Cannon. It has no known GF Database file, and the name of this Chozo, like The Searcher's, is unknown. One of the unnamed busts bears a slightly similar design as the busts seen on Tallon IV.

Trivia[]

  • A large Chozo bust makes an appearance in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Multiplayer, within the stage Shooting Gallery. The bust can be seen towering directly above the "Vigilance" Class Turret. It is unknown if this bust corresponds to any relatable Chozo and could possibly be simply a standout aesthetic meant for the stage it represents, as the stage the bust is housed in is based off the Chozo Ruins. The bust is also adorned with two Runic Symbols around each side of its neck, with one side mirroring the other. Within the same stage, unique Chozo faces can be seen adorning parts of the halls leading up to the large open Chozo bust area.
  • Interestingly, these Chozo depictions bear more visible feathers on their bodies, a feature that is rarely seen, if at all, within the singleplayer modes of the Prime series.
