Concealed movement pad

Concealed movement pads are engineered platforms that appear in the Gathering Hall room in the Torvus Bog. During Samus Aran's mission on Aether in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, she uses these pads to cross the pool of water in the room. Slightly resembling Geemers, these platforms resemble spiked mollusks on their top side, with a more flat bottom side. Their bottom contains a Light Crystal that Samus must shoot with the Dark Beam. This will cause the pad to flip over and allow Samus to use it as a platform. The scan states that it is designed to confuse the Ing. Once the water is drained from the room, the pads become obsolete.
