'''Protodermis''' is a mysterious fictional substance within [[Lego]] [[Bionicle]] franchise. It seems to be similar to the [[matter]] of which our universe is made of.

==Forms==
Technically, nearly everything in the Bionicle universe is made of protodermis. When a substance is specifically referred to as being made of protodermis, it refers to one of the following forms:
*'''Solid Protodermis''' is a kind of metal ore that can be either carved or melted down and forged into useful objects.
 The hardest known variation of this metal is called '''protosteel''', analogous to [[Marvel Comics]]' fictional metal [[adamantium]].<REF>[http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49257&st=7260 Official Greg Discussion p. ] post #7265</REF> In its molten state, itprotodermis is similar to lava, hot enough to melt anything in its path. When protodermis is properly forged, it imbues the object with a special power. [[Dark Hunters#The Shadowed One|The Shadowed One]] can also create crystalline protodermis with his staff, which appears to share several properties with metallic protodermis.
*'''Liquid Protodermis''' is, for all intents and purposes, identical to water, except for its silvery color; when cleansed of impurities, this color turns blue. A [[Toa]] of Water can control this form of protodermis as easily as she can regular water. Liquid protodermis can be heated into its molten state, or frozen into protodermic ice.
*'''Energized Protodermis''' is a remarkable variation of Pprotodermis. It will transform beings that are destined to transform, and has been used to form the [[Toa Nuva]] and [[Rahkshi]]; but will destroy anything else it comes into contact with, such as the [[Karzahni]] plant. Ironically, it also has some living properties itself. Energized protodermis is also the only known cure to the [[List of objects in Bionicle#Antidermis|antidermis]] virus.⏎
*'''Protosteel''' is an extremely strong metal, stronger than [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] armor, only [[Barraki#Ehlek|Ehlek's]] tri-talons are known to cut it.

==Name==
Protodermis is the combination of Greek words Proto- (meaning "first") and -Dermis (meaning "skin" or "Layer of tissue"), thus directly meaning "first skin". This is an odd translation, but it has been postulated that this is because it can be a tissue substance. It has also been suggested that, deep underground though it is, it may only be the first layer under the surface.
