  • A Phazon Core is found in the center of all Leviathans. Samus Aran encounters these beings in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption after defeating the core guardian of the seed. Before the core reveals itself, Samus must use the power-up received after the battle (Hyper Ball, Hyper Missile, then Hyper Grapple as the game proceeded) to destroy certain growths around the chamber, which act as locks to the core. Destroying them causes Phazon streams to gush into a small opening in the ceiling and summon the Phazon Core. Samus must then vent the extra Phazon out of her suit to overload the Core and destroy it. As Samus leaves, the core falls to the ground and explodes, sending Phazon flying in all directions.

Name
  • Phazon Core
Text
  • Leviathans are the children of Phaaze. They are bioforms that begin life deep within the planet, inside the base of a serpentine organ that serves as a womb. The Leviathan will remain in here, feeding on an endless supply of Phazon, until it has developed its Phazon core.
  • The Leviathan is capable of interstellar travel, creating wormholes in space to expedite the journey. Instinctively, it homes in on its planetary target. Shortly after impact, the bioform dies, leaving its armored shell to protect the Phazon core. Before it dies, the bioform often attracts and enthralls a large local predator. After mutating it through intense Phazon exposure, it compels the creature to protect the core. The core then begins to seep into the planet, replacing the local ecosystem with one based on Phazon.
  • A Leviathan in early development.
  • Morphology: Leviathan Infant
  • Phazon within is highly unstable.
  • The developed core marks the Leviathan's transition into adolescence and its departure from the womb. The serpentine organ moves the adolescent from deep inside Phaaze and releases it closer to the planet's surface. Here the bioform will continue to grow and mature beneath its older siblings. As time passes and the older ones are launched into space, the Leviathan will slowly make its way to the planet's surface. It is here the Leviathan will reach full maturity. Once Phaaze has located a planetary target to corrupt, it will launch the Leviathan into space.
