The novel’s protagonist associates himself with one of those NMAs, called Pantagral.

Squid skin inspires creation of next-generation space blanket: Engineers develop material with heat regulation properties — ScienceDaily

Drawing design inspiration from the skin of stealthy sea creatures, engineers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a next-generation, adaptive space blanket that gives users the ability to control their temperature. The innovation is detailed in a study published today in Nature Communications.
