Even if we Chozo could gain the ability to foresee the future, it would be a hollow gift, for we could never hope to control what has yet to occur. Transcript: The future is a vague thing, ever-changing and always in doubt. We are all that stands in the way of this Great Poison, and it is our duty to contain it. Even in the face of such horror, we Chozo do not turn in fear. One such beast defiles our sacred fountain, disgorging poison from its foul form, replacing pure, flowing water with cascades of creeping death. ![]() Many of these mutated monstrosities remain small enough to do little harm, but others grow enormous and threaten our very existence. Peaceful beasts die by the thousands – some creatures survive, but their forms grow as twisted and evil as the force that fell from the sky. The dark energy sinks into the trees and waters, devouring all life. Transcript: The cries of this dying land echo in our ears as we Chozo watch the Great Poison seep ever further into the living pulse of the planet. That strange, negative energy emitted from the meteor expanded to encompass Tallon IV in a night, as a spider weaves a web. A Great Poison burst forth into the land, a strange energy that clawed at natural life with a ferocity. Its destructive force spent, the fallen star burned itself out rapidly, and the incident should have faded into memory…but the meteor brought with it corruption. A meteor appeared from nowhere, casting a dark shadow of debris over the land with the violence of its impact. We had a vague, dark foreboding, and it became truth. Not all prophecies come to pass, of course, but we cannot help but fear this dark portent. Born from parasites, nurtured in a poisoned womb, the Worm grows, devouring from within, until the world begins to rot. Though we celebrate the distant sight, many of these visions are dark–the worst of the prophecies, and the most common, tells of the coming of the Worm. We peer forward, seeing prophecy in the ripples of the water, hearing rumors of coming days on the breath of the wind. Transcript: Many Chozo are gifted with the distant sight, and even more begin to learn it as our harmonization with the universe becomes more and more complete. However, it is already impossible to collect all the pieces of the Great Poison, as it has already spread, seeping into the planet and hardening. All we can do now is seal it away and wait for the day when a power to purify the poison appears. We Chozo have yet to find a way to rid ourselves of the Great Poison. Transcript: The surges of negative energy brought by the meteor far exceed our expectation. ![]() ![]() We take this growing ability to be a sign of our burgeoning harmonization with the infinite perhaps, finally, the universe’s secrets are becoming known to us. Strange sights and inexplicable sensations flood us with visions. We know not how the ability has come to us, but recently many Chozo have begun to sense things beyond the realm of ordinary perception. Even as we search for answers there, however, we find illumination in other, unexpected places. The passage of time has always been a source of fascination to us it is the belief of many Chozo sages that the truths of the universe hide within the tumbling currents of time’s flow. Transcript: Many long years have passed since we Chozo first took root in this land. ![]() We believe we will spend peaceful days here and plan to leave our words from time to time. We Chozo chose to live in harmony with nature, guided by the providence of the universe. One thing is clear, however: the Chozo who colonized Tallon IV made a conscious choice to eschew a civilization of advanced technology. Transcript: The history of the Chozo stretches back into ancient times, so far into the fog of the past that we know not where our ancestors came from. Here you’ll find a list of every Chozo Lore scan, its location, and its contents, in Metroid Prime.
