He summoned roughly fifty copies. Each one was fully capable of movement, strategy, and combat. To defeat one meant forty-nine remained, ready to attack from all angles.

Bitil expressed his longtime desire to possess a Toa, declaring his supremacy and demanding submission. The hunger revealed the flaw in his design. Bitil assumed a prisoner would stay captured. He didn't account for a Toa who'd rather drown than submit.
