| Salt | Mineral | NaCl. Halite, also known as rock salt. Culinary and sanitation applications. |
| Salt Node | Standard | Halite (NaCL), commonly known as salt. A critical nutrient and a favorite flavor in human foodstuffs.
Nearly four percent of the alien seawater is dissolved salt—far higher than the concentration in human blood. Living things (even on this world) cannot survive this level of salt in their bodies.
As a result, organisms spend a great deal of energy pumping salt out of their bodies. Some fish use a third of their metabolic energy to pump salt.
A shortage of salt is equally dangerous. Hyponatremia causes hallucinations, seizure, coma and death (easily confused with other syndromes caused by exposure to this alien environment).
Assessment: search for salt on sandy sea bottoms and around dead coral domes.
Note: pools of salt-heavy brine may occur at the sea floor. Contact with this brine may cause seizures and death. Certain bacteria (halophiles) can thrive in these environments. |

| Shiver Leviathan | — | *Mango marrowbreach*. Dangerous selachian predator. Selachian means sharklike. |
| Shiver Male | Fauna | *Skythopterygion atropos*, the scythe-finned fate-ender. The male of a sexually dimorphic leviathan predator species which dwells in open water and attacks in packs (or shivers).
1. Death's head
The ancestors of the shiver leviathan diverged from other Protean fish early. The armor-plated skull and long, highly developed limbs (resembling wings and claws) are defining traits of the clade. The closest living relative may be the foureye. The body plan is optimized for slow cruises through deep water interrupted by sudden, rapid attacks. An armored skull suggests that prey fight back.
2. Sexual dimorphism
Male shiver leviathans are smaller and more agile than the large female. They also lack the female's distinctive tail organs, which may be a form of long-range 'towed array' sonar. Males depend on females for guidance and nourishment during long cruises in the open ocean.
3. Shiver attack
Packs of males cooperate with a single female in hunts. Attacks are aggressive and comprehensive — and not limited to prey. Females will drive off or destroy any large challenger they encounter, while males engage smaller consorts or companions.
4. Partible paternity
Spectrogenetic testing suggests that multiple males fertilize a female's brood. Females may compete to attract the most successful consorts to their shiver.
5. Your closest relative?
On Earth, land tetrapods (including humans) descended from the lobe-finned fish. The shiver leviathan's complex wings are loosely similar to these ancestors' fins. In a sense, the shiver leviathan is the most humanlike organism so far discovered on Proteus.
Assessment: sophisticated, dangerous predator that will attack even large submarines. Avoid. |

| Silver Ingot | — | Solid mass of silver for fabricator machining. Soft, conductive, seawater-resistant. Capable of turning human beings blue. |
| Silver Node | Standard | Silver (Ag), element 47.
The most conductive and reflective of all pure metals. Silver nanoparticles are vital in both medical technology and nanoprinted circuits.
Also important in modern nuclear reactors and high-efficiency solar panels.
Silver accumulation in the body (from exposure in seawater and diet) can cause long term health effects ranging from blue skin to death. This world’s dissolved silver levels are unsafe for human habitation.
