- This article is about a statue. For the bosses in Super Metroid, see Torizo.
Samus approaching the fake Chozo Statue in Metroid Fusion.
In Metroid Fusion, Samus Aran encounters a Chozo Statue in Sector 1 of the BSL Station. However, it turns out to be a Fake Chozo Statue. This should not be confused with a Torizo, a live Chozo Statue. Its similarity to an actual Chozo Statue is spot-on, and it even appears to hold an Item Sphere containing the Morph Ball upgrade. However, the shielded ball hurts Samus if she touches it, and once Samus shoots the Item Sphere with her beam (thus revealing the fake Morph Ball), it transforms into a Hard Core-X. Once Samus defeats this X Parasite, she obtains the true item it had in its possession: the Charge Beam.
The Hard Core-X that the fake statue turns into.
The X premeditated that Samus would enter the room, and find a combat upgrade being held by a Chozo Statue (which she knew she could trust)then would use the upgrade to destroy Samus. How the X Parasite managed to "absorb" the form of an inanimate statue is unknown, and a bit strange. It might have mimicked the form of a Torizo (which is known to contain organic matter), and then had trouble animating the body, so as a result it changed immediately to a Hard Core-X to gain combat capabilities; it might also be possible that Chozo Statues, like Samus's Power Suit, are partially organic. The Metroid Prime lore describes the statues as sentinels and heavily hint at them being partially alive and aware of their surroundings. This is further supported by their ability to "bowl" Samus in her Morph Ball form in Metroid Prime and their ability to walk and change from standing to sitting positions in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission. Putting aside all theories, this certainly seems to be an in-game reminder of the first Torizo battle in Super Metroid, or simply an homage to the famous item-holding statuary that have appeared throughout Metroid history, especially since the X-mimicked statue is the only Chozo Statue to be seen in Fusion.
Trivia
- Interestingly, the Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide refers to the Fake Chozo Statue as the "Elephant Bird".
- The Fake Chozo Statue is featured on the packaging for the Game Boy Player.
