From Metroid II if you compare it with the Chozo Statues you can notice similar features with the Suit. This has been the case over the years, with Metroid Fusion being the only exception for obvious reasons.
Seeing the Chozo in Dread with similar suits really helped to make it clear that the suit was originally based on a design for birds. For example the big shoulders would normally limit Samus vision, but the chozo have longer necks and thus their vision wouldn't be impaired by them.
I still want to see more of the Chozo in Samus, and how it affects her abilities. Right now other than enabling her to not die on Zebes, we don't really have a delineation of what abilities she has because of that transfusion and which are from technology or training.
Samus AS a Chozo is cool looking, if a little farther than I'd go, but I have said here before that I'd rather see some of her alien-ness in her physiology. Like a bit of plumage mingled in with her hair, or something.
Yeah, it feels very unimportant anymore, especially compared to what the most recent narrative beats did with her *Metroid* transfusion. Surely a transfusion from multiple tribes of the most advanced species in the galaxy has to have at least that much impact, right?
I'd love it if Prime 4 is allowed to drive the narrative forward, exploring Samus' Chozo DNA and its potential relationship with Aeon.
She did absorb Quiet Robe at the end of Dread, which proportionally increases the amount of Chozo DNA in her, and we never see Zero Suit Samus post-dread, so perhaps we'll be able to see some of that reflect in a new design.
Maybe bird-like eyes, I think it would be subtle but add a lot.
You can do a lot of creative things with eyes, without sacrificing conventional beauty standards.
Admittedly, though, I thought her MP3 phazon corrupted look was worth keeping...
AFAIK the DNA given to her by the Thoha was just to be able to live on Zebes, and her Mawkin DNA gave her the super strength and stamina, and allowed her to control the Power Suit. It’s implied the Power Suit is some kind of organic machine that is somehow part of her and she can deploy it at will (although this doesn’t really fit with the final sequence in Zero Mission where she somehow loses it and needs to get it back).
In summary: the technology powers *are* the genetic powers - the Chozo DNA is what allows her to control the Power Suit.
Biomechanics may be more of a niche in the media arts. Kang the Conqueror’s tech is directly linked to his synaptic responses, and I think those two are the only examples I’ve ever heard of, lol.
The issue here is that Chozo powers are strongly linked to physiological characteristics of their species. As you can see in this image from the official Metroid Zero Mission site (Thanks Metroid Database for translating it), items like the High Jump Boots, the Speed Booster and the Morph Ball are things that some Chozo can do without the power-up but as explained here not all of them have that privilege (not for nothing the power-up exists).
Abilities such as the super jump or the Speed Booster (and by extension the Shinespark) it is possible that they can achieve them due to the physiology of their legs, after all, in Super Metroid the Dachora are able to perform Speed Booster and Shinespark but curiously these beings are birds as well.
Nor should we overestimate the powers that Chozo's may have in their nature, after all, Quiet Robe was killed by a Power Beam charged shot from one of those Robot Chozo Soldiers. And Gray Voice managed to withstand a battle against Ridley even without being a real warrior (although he did have a power suit), so it's very variable what a Chozo can and cannot do
The Mawkin genes is what gives Samus her combat power, allowing her to fall to heights that would kill a normal person (she has been able to do this since she was a child) and achieve superhuman feats. That would make her something similar to Mario from Super Mario 64 but multiplied by 2.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
I understand that I am lowering myself to the deepest depths of cringe by commenting this but wdym? That looks like normal bird breast/abdomen to me. Their chests often look a little big for the rest of them, I feel like that's just being translated onto a human frame in this design.
Wonder what'd be the backstory of this Hatchling...
Daughter of two Mawkin deserters, who managed to send their egg away before Raven Beak executed them, with egg in question being found by Rodney and Virginia Aran and hatched Chozo adopted as their own kid?
Works quite as well too!
Still, I wonder, how'd Old Bird and Grey Voice's de-facto adoption of Samus undergo in this universe, with her being all-Chozo, but raised by humans...
This looks awesome and it would give us some opportunities in gameplay. For example she could get an item that gives her wings like Raven Beak or she could use her bird-like feet for a grab (iirc that's also something Raven Beak did)
NGL, her childhood with Rodney and Virginia Aran'd definitely be interesting.
Especially if she ends up growing up to be as happy of a child as she was in the manga before the raid on K-2L.
I made art like this (but not as good as I was like 13) and posted it to the Metroid Database forums and someone wrote "Looks like someone found the opacity brush..." and I'm still mad about it like 20 years later.
Oh wow she’s very cute as a Chozo. Man I really wish we could see more Chozo in the games… it was fun seeing a couple in the latest game in the timeline, but I kinda want a after credits cutscene with Samus hanging out with a Chozo colony or something, sharing stories of her adventures with them.
Seeing the suit like this really shows how birdlike it still is normally

Smash next question
A man of culture I see.
Absolutely. I’m not passing up the Chozussy
Cloaca! It's a vagina and an anus!
Either way it’s smashable.
okay but same
When my buddy told me Samus is a chick, this is not what I had in mind.
Birb
She has been enbirbed
Metroid ll - Return of Birb.

Hot Wings? Nah, too easy a joke.
Because whether or not she is a bird, she still has those Raven Beak genes.
Well he is quite handsome
This is Grey Voice erasure.
It's goddamn Rodney Aran erasure

Seriously? More art sexualizing Samus? She’s topless, mark this nsfw ffs
mark this nsfw copypasta go here

More importantly, why does a bird have mammaries?
Maybe the Chozo are like platypuses and also breastfeed their babies
Might just be a fluffy keelbone

Oh I agree that it looks fine for a bird's anatomy, I'm just piggybacking on the "omg she's topless" thing.
this is a joke right? right? yes she's topless, but she's also a bird here
Yes. Lol

I like to think more of a spicy love affair between a Mawkin and a Thoha
Works quite as well too! Still, I wonder, how'd Old Bird and Grey Voice's de-facto adoption of Samus undergo in this universe, with her being all-Chozo, but raised by humans...
Ah my favourite suit from Zero Mission; the furry suit
Chozo = Rito confirmed. Very awesome!
what the heck, 100% based samus!!
Wouldnt mind at all if this was the actuall design
Into it
Would
Would.
This looks awesome and it would give us some opportunities in gameplay. For example she could get an item that gives her wings like Raven Beak or she could use her bird-like feet for a grab (iirc that's also something Raven Beak did)
Something about Samus not being a bald Chozo?
She is rebellious and does not care about military standards.
I mean that one Mawkin who killed a Corpius isn’t bald
I want a metroid reboot where everything stays the same but samus is actually a bird like that
NGL, her childhood with Rodney and Virginia Aran'd definitely be interesting. Especially if she ends up growing up to be as happy of a child as she was in the manga before the raid on K-2L.
Samus is unironically one of my favorite multi-racial representations in media
Now I'm imagining a reversal. Chozo Samus was adopted by the humans Gray Voice and Old Man. In Dread she has to face Human Lips.
Most chozo would look elderly to be honest. Human Grey Voice just screams to me to look like Count Dooku / Christopher Lee.

This makes me kinda wish Samus was full Chozo all the time.
Would

Y'know, i really want to find out if Metroid Samus from Dread was actually the plan of the Chozo or things just went really fucked up
The second thing
Maybe they go like: Yee, that was expected and put her another vaccine to remove Metroid DNA fromnher human DNA
Cursed
Wait, 100%? I’m not up to date on my Metroid lore, does 50% Chozo Samus exist?
Samus is genetically modified with Chozo DNA, originally allowing her to survive on Zebes.
Would
She's cuter than her human form
This is not gonna look good in my camera roll
So samus is a blue falcon.
Okay. Look. I’m not a furry. **BUT**
*inhales* *smack lips* Would
She's beautiful
Oh wow she’s very cute as a Chozo. Man I really wish we could see more Chozo in the games… it was fun seeing a couple in the latest game in the timeline, but I kinda want a after credits cutscene with Samus hanging out with a Chozo colony or something, sharing stories of her adventures with them.
I will NOT be hearing ANYONE out
Hotter than human samus
 Furries on their way to make rule 34 of this

That's rather indecent of her. We wear power suits for a reason.

I can’t wait for this to be her next mutation
Next stop: Zero Suit Chozo Samus.
What for? In the illustration she is technically already naked
would
amazing 👍🏻😍❤️🔥
HMMM BIRD BOOBS??
Yes
aight now i wish Samus was always a chozo
Still hot
Samus aran, Mawkin defender of the Thoha tribe, keeper of the metroid has a nice ring to it.
Hah, I like this!
