Phazon Grounds

The Phazon Grounds is a room in the Sky Temple Grounds, appearing within Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
==Description==
The grounds are quite large, and feature several large patches of Phazon, two Space Pirate corpses, two Dormant Ingclaws and Dark Tallon Metroids, one of which is carrying a third deceased Pirate Commando that will be dropped if the Metroid is shot or it notices Samus. Another Dark Tallon Metroid appears to float idly close to one of the deceased Pirates and its nearby supply of contained Phazon, while a few others hover over a massive bottomless pit. Scanning the two corpses reveals that one of the two Pirates had been drained of its life by a Metroid but still had all of its ammunition, indicating that it was killed by a sneak attack. Scanning the other body on the ground shows that its ammo is gone: the scan says that this one "didn't go quietly."
The Aether version of this room is the GFMC Compound.
