The Blastcap is a mushroom-like plant which is native to the planet Tallon IV. They can be found in the Tallon Overworld and Chozo Ruins areas. They resemble large capped mushrooms and they come in small and large sizes and also live in groups. In Metroid Prime, Blastcaps can be found in these rooms: Tallon Canyon, Watery Hall, Waterfall Cavern, Meditation Fountain, Ruined Gallery, Gathering Hall, Watery Hall Access and Transport Tunnel C. In Hunters, Blastcaps are located in High Ground, Alimbic Gardens, Crash Site and Frost Labyrinth.

They have been notably discovered on Tallon IV, although they can also be found on both the planets Alinos and Arcterra in the Tetra Galaxy, proving that they have not only existed for an extensive period of time but also that they have spread beyond our own galaxy.

| - The poisonous flesh of the Blastcap helps keep it from being eaten. It also detonates its fungal cap when it senses even slight contact.
- A large mushroom that explodes on contact, emitting noxious gas. Originating on TALLON IV, its spores can survive without atmosphere and have propagated throughout the galaxy on solar winds.

| - Blastcaps are a species of mushroom-like flora whose homeplanet has been blurred due to the fact that their spores can survive in space, allowing them to propagate throughout the galaxy as well; however, evidence points to their originating on Tallon IV. They have been notably discovered on Tallon IV, although they can also be found on both the planets Alinos and Arcterra in the Tetra Galaxy, proving that they have not only existed for an extensive period of time but also that they have spread beyond our own galaxy. These spores move between locations by traveling upon the interstellar stellar winds. Both those on Alinos and Tallon IV have large, grey-green caps, while those on Arcterra sport white caps, suggesting them to be an arctic subspecies that may or may not have adapted specifically to that planet. Blastcaps live in small communal clusters, yet this seems to actually be harmful to their species. Blastcaps are territorial towards other organisms, and when one approaches (how they detect these other organisms is likely due to their tendrils - which extend from the underside of their cap - probably being sensitive to air disturbance) they will shake violently, producing a rustling noise as a form of warning. This is because when disturbed they will violently rupture, spreading a noxious gas. While the explosion is harmful enough to deal damage even to powerful armored combat suits, the gas can be filtered and is not harmful to those wearing sufficient facial apparatuses. On Tallon IV they have been cataloged as inhabiting both the Tallon Overworld as well as the derelict Chozo Ruins.
- The Blastcap is a mushroom-like plant which is native to the planet Tallon IV. They can be found in the Tallon Overworld and Chozo Ruins areas. They resemble large capped mushrooms and they come in small and large sizes and also live in groups. The spores of the Blastcap can survive in outer space, and have propagated throughout the galaxy by means of traveling on interstellar solar winds. When approached, they will make a rustling noise and shake violently. Upon contact with Samus, or when sufficiently damaged, they will explode. The explosion will damage Samus as well as release a cloud of gas as the mushroom itself is consumed.This can also often set off other nearby Blastcaps in a chain reaction effect. Contrary to its scan data, the gas is not harmful to Samus. A more brightly-coloured breed of Blastcaps are also encountered in Metroid Prime Hunters on both Alinos and Arcterra. The gas emitted by this variant when destroyed can harm Samus, and will fill a small area for a short time around where the Blastcap was. The type that appears on Arcterra seems to be a white arctic species, though they appear to be merely scenery in the Frost Labyrinth and cannot be scanned. If a hacking device is used, the Arcterra variant shares the same scan, and emits the same gas if destroyed. The only difference is that another Blastcap will grow back after the gas clears up. In Metroid Prime, Blastcaps can be found in these rooms: Tallon Canyon, Watery Hall, Waterfall Cavern, Meditation Fountain, Ruined Gallery, Gathering Hall, Watery Hall Access and Transport Tunnel C. In Hunters, Blastcaps are located in High Ground, Alimbic Gardens, Crash Site and Frost Labyrinth.
