Brinstone

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Brinstone is a material found throughout the Metroid Prime series. It is vulnerable to Missile fire, and often can be cleared away to reveal doors or clear obstacles. Brinstone is immune to any other form of attack. Although it is not confirmed, it may have originated on a place of a similar name.

"Brinstone is a stable solid with above average density. Its compact atomic structure makes it a strong, reliable medium for constructing foundations. It is typically not used on war-ravaged planets, though, due to its vulnerability to even the smallest concussive shockwaves."

[edit] Real-World Etymology

Brinstone is likely a portmanteau of the Zebes sector called Brinstar and brimstone, a non-scientific word for sulfur. The word has been popularized by "fire and brimstone", a phrase used, sometimes pejoratively, to describe a motif in Christian preaching which uses vivid descriptions of judgment, and the damnation to Hell of sinners forever to encourage repentance out of fear of divine wrath and punishment. It is from this part of the Bible that Hell is implied to "smell of sulfur", although sulfur in itself is, in fact, odorless.
