*'''Energized Protodermis''' is a remarkable variation of protodermis. It will transform beings that are destined to transform, and has been used to form the [[Toa Nuva]] and [[Rahkshi]]; but will destroy anything not destined to come in 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.


The following is quoted from BIOWiktionary, a BIONICLE Wiki Dictionary:
* Liquid Water-like Protodermis: Substance that acts like H2O in it's liquid form. Found in all underground water bodies.
* Frozen Water-like Protodermis: Substance that acts like H2O in it's solid form. Found in any Ice Region, or anywhere where there is ice underground.
* Solid Metal-like Protodermis: Substance that acts like Metal in it's solid form. What makes armour in all Biomechanical creatures, and what makes tools.
* Liquid Metal-like Protodermis: Substance that acts like Metal in it's liquid form. Found in Ta-Metru.
* Crystal-like Protodermis: Substance that acts like Crystal. Exerted from The Shadowed One's staff, and made when 6 Toa from Po-, Ko-, Le-, Onu-, Ta- and Ga- Toa combine their elemental powers and launch them at the same time.
* Protosteel: A very strong type of Protodermis, capable of ripping through Brotherhood of Makuta armour. Found in Ehlek's Tri-Talons.
* Energized Protodermis: A special type of Protodermis, energized with some kind of mutagenic agent, but not Hordika Venom or the Pit Mutagen. It has the capabilities to transform anything into anything else, with the exception of Zamor Crystals and a special type of Protodermis used to make vials. It seems to have some connection to destiny, transforming anyone destined to transform, and destroying anyone who isn't.
* Purified Protodermis: A special type of protodermis that has 1 of 8 powers, that can be combined to make others.(see Kanoka for more) Is used to make Kanoka and is therefore what is used to make Kanohi.
* Tissue-like Protodermis: Makes all living tissue in any living being. <REF>[http://www.editthis.info/biowiktionary/BIOWiktionary BIOWiktionary]'s Protodermis page</REF>⏎

==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.  The name could simply be an attempt on LEGO's part to produce a "cool-soun(contracted; show full)</div>
