Why the fusion never formed#
The story never gave the Kaita Za a moment to form. The Kal split up to raid the villages and harry the Toa Nuva, and late in the campaign OnuaOnuaOnua was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Earth, a quiet, deliberate warrior whose patience and underground mastery anchored his team across the Matoran Universe. and PohatuPohatuPohatu was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Stone, guardian of Po-Wahi, whose speed and steady humour anchored the team through every era of the Matoran Universe. trapped Tahnok-KalTahnok-KalThe electric-powered leader of the Bohrok-Kal squad, designed to awaken the Bahrag. and took its Krana-KalKrana-KalSpecialized Krana mutated by the Bahrag, these parasitic organisms controlled the Bohrok-Kal in 2003 and possessed autonomy, telepathy, and an impenetrable silver shield., learning that the Kal had already found the BahragBahragCahdok and Gahdok were the twin queens of the Bohrok, sealed in a protodermis cage by the Toa Mata and later released to finish their cleansing of Mata Nui..

Status in the record#
The Kaita Za is listed in the BIONICLE Encyclopedia, which notes that it was never formed on Mata Nui. Outside the story it existed as a combination model built from the three component sets. (BIONICLE: Encyclopedia; Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za, LEGO sets 8573, 8574 and 8577)
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za?
- The Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za was the second of the two possible fusions available to the elite Bohrok-Kal contingent, combining Tahnok-Kal, Pahrak-Kal, and Nuhvok-Kal. It was never formed on Mata Nui during the Bohrok-Kal campaign against the Toa Nuva.
- What powers and equipment would the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za have had?
- It would have possessed the elemental powers of Gravity, Plasma, and Electricity, drawn from its three components. Its combination model is equipped with the Plasma Shields of Pahrak-Kal and the Gravity Shields of Nuhvok-Kal, leaving out Tahnok-Kal's Electricity Shields.
- What would have controlled the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za?
- It would have been controlled by the Krana Za-Kal.
- Why did the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za never form?
- The story never gives it a moment to form. The Bohrok-Kal stuck to their mission of freeing the Bahrag, and all six were destroyed together in the Bahrag's lair when the Toa Nuva sent a surge of power through their stolen Nuva Symbols, overloading each Kal's own element.
- How did the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Za differ from the Bohrok-Kal Kaita Ja?
- The Kaita Za never formed, while its counterpart the Kaita Ja did form during the campaign and beat Wairuha Nuva with a vortex of combined power. The six Bohrok-Kal divided into two three-element groupings, the Kaita Ja combining Sonics, Vacuum, and Magnetism, and the Kaita Za combining Electricity, Plasma, and Gravity.
