Revision 15254318 of "Protodermis" on enwiki

[[Protodermis]] is a very, very mysterious substance, found only in the fictional world of [[Bionicle]], a complex story of heroes and villians made by [[Lego]]. It is recommended you learn more about Bionicle before you go on. The entry is [[Bionicle|here]].

== The Substance of Life ==

The Turaga call Protodermis the 'Substance of Life', named so because everything in the Bionicle universe is made of it.  The matoran do not eat it.  The biomechanical bodies of the [[Matoran]] are made with it. The forges of Ta-Metru construct and forge masks and launchers and tools and disks with it, making it extremely vital to the Matoran. Without it, nothing would be. It is a somewhat magical substance, with very interesting applications.

== Forms ==

Protodermis comes in the following four forms:
*'''Solid Protodermis''' is hardened liquid Protodermis. The forges of [[Metru Nui]]'s end results are in solid form, like Kanoka disks and Kanohi masks.
*'''Liquid Protodermis''' is simply a liquid form of solid Protodermis. It flows in the canals of Ga-Metru, and exists in the Silver Sea. It is the equivalent of water for the Matoran.
*'''Energized Protodermis''' is a remarkable variation of liquid Protodermis. It causes transformations, and has been used to form the [[Toa Nuva]], [[Rahkshi]] and has a lot of power. It is a very useful but rare substance, found only in the deepest, darkest corners of the island. Although it is volatile enough to kill in overdoses, ironically, it also has some living properties itself. A sentient mass of it was discovered by the Toa Metru in Bionicle Adventures 6, Maze of Shadows.
*'''Pure Protodermis''' the 'pure' and rarest form of Protodermis, not much is known about this substasnce.   

Protodermis had an early name, Biodermis, in Bionicle.com's "Mata Nui Online Game", also known as MNOLG.
