The Samus Aran model sits proudly on top of Mt. Paradox, poised to shoot the Creeper Statue with her heat beam. She is one of the oldest pixel art landmarks on the server and was created before the 1.0 update made it easy to gather large amounts of wool. Samus was designed and installed by ManaLocke.
The base of Samus Aran is located at -240, 96, -27. She is visible from the world's Spawn Point and can be seen, on Normal render distance, by anyone who respawns there. The best viewing opportunities are just outside of Mt. Paradox. From the main chamber, head out the main exit and into the courtyard. Scale the small hill to the east of the courtyard wall.
Samus can be seen up-close from the observation tower. For the adventurous, and those wishing to tempt fate, an “enemy's-eye view” can be had by scaling the Creeper Statue.
What's red and orange and not properly grounded (Ch1b1)?
… not Samus; not anymore! After the biomes update added weather, Samus gained a glass halo to protect her from the lightning beam.
Punch sheep… get wool… punch sheep… get wool (ManaLocke)!
Punch sheep… get… disappointment. (ManaLocke, after shears were mandated)
