(Rhulk calls the Hive Krill (with a Capital 'K') in the Vow of the Disciple dialogue, several times, seemingly making the name official. So, I'm changing Proto-Hive to Krill.) |

Their natural lifespan rarely exceeded ten Fundament-years, though Krill who ate "mother jelly" became able to spawn and live longer. In terms of environmental hazards, Fundament was almost inhospitable. The Fundament ocean was toxic, the storms constantly ravaged the skies, the rain was poisonous and sometimes corrosive, lightning had enough energy to vaporize anyone it struck, "living clouds" called Stormjoys would prey on the populace, and the Krill were frequently in conflict.<ref name="Predators">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#I:_Predators|I: Predators]]''</ref> | ||
One kingdom of the Fundament Ocean was the [[Osmium Court]], ruled by the [[Osmium King]]. When the King went mad out of fear of the "Syzygy", a catastrophic and artificially-induced alignment of Fundament's moons that would create a devastating global tidal wave, [[Taox]], the teacher of the King's three daughters, invited the rival [[Helium Drinkers]] of the [[Helium Court]] to invade and install her on the Osmium Throne.
