Life was quick and harsh for the 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> | Life was quick and harsh for the Krill.
