| Discovery Notes | Discovered in highly saturated soil near a body of water and various snake holes. Collected from a depth of 5 centimeters. |
| Naming Notes | Named after the Greek mythological figure, Charon- the ferryman into the underworld. For a small fee, Charon takes souls across the River Styx into the next phase of their existence. Phage was collected near a body of water and has demonstrated the ability to lyse m. smeg. These facts immediately made me think of Charon. |
