| This is a featured article. |
Torvus Bog is a semi-industrialised wetland area found on the planet Aether. It is the result of an ocean flooding Torvus Forest, due to the cataclysmic Phazon Meteor impact that ravaged the planet decades ago. Torvus Bog is home to many aquatic and reptilian animals, among them the Alpha Blogg. Its Dark Aether counterpart is Dark Torvus.
It has an upper and a lower area. The upper area is mostly what remains of the forest, while the lower areas are a completely flooded industrial area.
The indigenous creatures of Torvus Bog include the Blogg and their offspring, Blogglings; Alpha Bloggs, Hydling, Krocuss, Sporb, Brizgee, Preed (probably brought there by Space Pirates) and Grenchlers.
Areas and main rooms
The most notable characteristic of the Torvus Bog is its clear division into two main areas: The upper swamp and the more developed, subterranean section.
Bog area (surface level)
Once a lush forest ecosystem, Torvus’ aboveground areas became partially flooded by the constant rain, transforming it into a gloomy, swampy biome. A region of important Luminoth activity in the past, many of their buildings can be found here, though most have been heavily affected by flooding and rampant overgrowth of indigenous plantlife.
After energy has been restored to the temple, it stops raining in this area, and the weather clears up, due to the fact that the Light of Aether also controls the weather on this planet. It remains unknown how the ecosystem was changed after Samus saved the Luminoth and departed Aether.
Some of the industrialized parts of the wetland.
Main rooms
Submerged level
The chambers below Torvus Temple was once used the Luminoth for a number of purposes, ranging from industrial to training, ceremonies and interment of their dead. Since the disaster, however, Torvus’ subterranean section has become almost completely submerged in water. Because of this, many aquatic creatures have colonized these areas in the Luminoth’s absence, including the fearsome Bloggs.

Trivia
- The word 'Torvus' is Latin for 'fierce'.
- The music in the lower area of Torvus Bog is an arrangement of the Red Brinstar music from Super Metroid.
- Additionally, the music that plays on the upper section contains notes from the second Tallon Overworld theme in the original Metroid Prime.
- This also makes it the first official arrangement of the original theme for Lower Brinstar. The second is used in Area 5 of Metroid: Samus Returns.
- From Agon Wastes to Torvus Bog just below the Torvus Temple, the connection is an elevator. However, the two ends of the elevator are on opposite sides of the planet, yet there is scarcely a difference in elevation.
- The color code of the Bog is emerald.
- Restoring energy to the Torvus Energy Controller will render the swamp sunlit rather than its usual cloudy and rainy skies.
