[METROID REDESIGN] The Chozo

From the Metroid NES Manual-
Hunt out the Power Items and boost Samus' power! At the start of the game, Samus carries only a short beam. You have to boost Samus' power by finding the rooms that contain Power Items and capture them. Boosting Samus' power gives him new ways to attack--such as wave beams, screw attacks, and bomb-setting. There are 10 Power Items in total. Collect as many as you can to fortify Samus.

[LOG 09- THE CHOZO]

There is evidence of some kind of ancient civilization scattered throughout Zebes, whether it be erected structures, duct and pipe work or detailed carvings in stone. However, the biggest evidence of this civilization are rooms, probably constructed for some kind of religious purpose, housing these humanoid like creatures that caress artifacts in their hands . Whether these creatures are actually the fossilized remains of something once living, or merely statues used as idols is uncertain.
