Talk:Chozo

message: Doesn't Chojin mean Super-God?  Is Choujin an alternate spelling or a different word?  I can't see the Kanji.
:Well, for what it's worth, I ran the second set of chracters through the Babel Fish and got "Bird human family." I know absolutely nothing about Japanese, but it looks like choujin-zoku means what the article says it does... --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 23:38, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
::Indeed, completely different kanji are used for "Super-God", they're homonyms. Chojin is an alternative spelling for both "bird-people" and "super-god", just depends if you romanise the extended vowel. AstroBlue 11:43, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the section Chozo Lore (Metroid Prime) copyed from the game? If so it's copyvio. Also it's written with an unencyclopedic tone --Melaen 01:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The scan of the shriekbat from Meroid Hunters says "the inhabitants of Talon IV have called for the eradication of this species..." Is this enough evidence to prove the Chozo are not extinct?
No, remember the alimbics were around thousands of years ago, so that was an old scan.  (11987 06:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Chozo are not extinct. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, you'll find a scan that explains the "Talon IV Incident". This explains that, about 50 years prior to the Prime series, Tallon IV was struck by a giant object containing mass amounts of Phazon, which the Chozo managed to hold back. It ended up killing many Chozo, but there WERE survivors who fled to an unknown location. This has not yet been documented in any current Metroid game other than Corruption, so there is a possibility that in a future Metroid title, Samus may encounter the surviving Chozo. -D14BL0 04:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Those Chozo are presumably the ones who raised Samus, considering she is younger than 50 years old, which would make the "unknown location" Zebes. Since Zebes later became a Space Pirate base, those Chozo are either now dead, or fled again. But that is, of course, speculation unsuitable for the article itself. --Herald Alberich 19:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Keep in mind, Samus is infused with 1/6 Chozo blood, so she may be way older than 50 years, and not have aged. If I remember correctly, the Chozo had very long life spans. I don't believe that Samus' actual age has ever been verified. -D14BL0 19:46, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm having trouble locating a place where the chozo statues are written in japanese. The way I see it, chouzou could either mean "bird statue" or "sculped statue". Also if it's the former that would make it synonomous with "torizo" meaning "bird statue"

message: A scan of the Luminoth in MP2 reveals that the Luminoth have "technology and energy manipulation" or something to that end. The same Luminoth (U-Mos, I think) is shown using a glowing yellow ball that looks like an energy orb to attract moths.
So, what exactly are those orbs? Hunters alludes to them a bit. Where should information about that energy go? I know it's jsut a gameplay device, but they're trying to implement it into the story, liek almost everything else...
who knows?  it justs says they generate and manipulate energy on par with the Chozo.  Moths are attacted to lights.  There u go.  (11987 00:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
