The Tallon Fern is an inanimate species of plant-life indigenous to Tallon IV. It is seen in Metroid Prime, growing in the Tallon Overworld area. All of the Ferns encountered in the game are harmless, although toxic subspecies are known to exist as well. Physically, these plants are almost identical to real-world ferns.
