Revision 23158457 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, except for the air, which is something totally different, and the water surrounding the island of [[Metru Nui]].  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 six forms:
*'''Solid metal-like Protodermis''' is hardened Purified Protodermis. The forges of [[Metru Nui]]'s end results are in solid form, like Kanoka disks and Kanohi masks.
*'''Solid Ice-like Protodermis''' is liquid Protodermis in the form of ice. It is what the knowlege towers of Ko-Metru are made of.
*'''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.
*'''Molten Protodermis''' is purified Protodermis that has been heated.  It has the properties of molten metal.
*'''Energized Protodermis''' is a remarkable variation of liquid Protodermis. In some cases, it causes transformations, and has been used to form the [[Toa Nuva]], [[Rahkshi]], but will often destroy what it come into contact with, such as the Karzahni plant. 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. It is the purified form of Protodermis.When purifed, it rakes a bluish coclr and it is purified at the Great Temple in Ga-Metru. It is used to make Kanoka Disks, furniture, etc.   
Protodermis had an early name, Biodermis, in Bionicle.com's "Mata Nui Online Game", also known as MNOLG.

== Name ==
Protodermis is the combination of Latin words Proto- (meaning "first") and -Dermis (meaning "skin" or "Layer of tissue"). This is an odd translation, but it has been postulated that this is because it can be a tissue substance.

== Reference ==

*[[Matoran]]
*[[Toa Nuva]]
