Phazon (Orange)

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Orange Phazon is a more dangerous kind of Phazon than the Blue Phazon that appears on planet Tallon IV.

[edit] Description

This Phazon was found by Samus Aran deep in Tallon IV's Impact Crater. Although Samus has the Phazon Suit, it still damages Samus on contact despite the fact that the Phazon Suit protects her from radiation of Phazon. According to the Scan Visor, it's mutagenic properties are 86% stronger than standard Blue Phazon.

Its origins and relation to the Blue Phazon are unknown, but it is possibly just high concentrations of Phazon trapped in the Crater. It is interesting that Orange Phazon doesn't show up on Phaaze, suggesting that it is a new kind of Phazon unique to the Tallon IV Leviathan. However, it is also possible that Orange Phazon makes up part or all of Phaaze's subterranean makeup, similar to magma in the earth's mantle; this is supported by the fact that it is only encountered near the core of the Leviathan, which is essentially a miniaturized version of Phaaze itself.

A variation of normal Phazite, known as Red Phazite, appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This substance may or may not be linked to Orange Phazon.
