Trocra are crystallized colonies of cyanobacteria that float in midair. They are found at regular intervals around the "Seal Sphere chamber", the room where the first battle between Gorea and Samus occurs, in the Oubliette. When touched, they will explode, doing damage. Trocra prove useful to both Samus and Gorea, as Samus can destroy them for items, and later Gorea's Seal Sphere grabs them with energy tendrils and hurls them at Samus, though they can be easily sidestepped. If they do not exist elsewhere, they were presumably rendered extinct with the Oubliette's destruction.

It is unclear why the Trocra appeared in the Seal Sphere room and what their original purpose was.

These crystallized colonies of cyanobacteria are highly unstable, and will detonate when they contact a solid surface. Avoid contact.

Trivia[]

  • The in-game model used by the Trocra has the filename "PowerBomb_Model.bin". This indicates that Power Bombs were intended to appear at some point in the game before being cut for unknown reasons, and the model was re-purposed as the Trocra.
