Denzium

A wall made of weakened Denzium.

Denzium is a durable material found on Aether that has similar properties to Bendezium from Tallon IV. It is a common type of ore that is typically used to reinforce gates or walls from attack. The only known way to destroy it (as far as Samus is capable of) is by using a Power Bomb, though it can deteriorate after prolonged exposure to the energy of interdimensional portals.

The Galactic Federation have been known to use Denzium in gates and such, suggesting there is an off-world source of the alloy, or they were able to manufacture it from materials on the planet. The method in which it is fused with materials is unknown.

"The machines have fashioned a new alloy of considerable strength.
They use this metal to block access to key areas. Destroy it if you can!"
