He is smaller than the other Creatures, has no Creature Mask of Power or Golden Mask of Unity, and doesn't attach himself to a Toa's back. As a set, he was released as Ekimu's Hawk, built to perch on Ekimu's forearm. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One; Ekimu's Hawk)

The summoning to scout Umarak#

Agil kept Ekimu informed about the Toa's quest and their loss of the Mask of ControlThe Mask of ControlThe Kanohi of mind control once worn by Makuta of Okoto, hidden by the Elemental Creatures, sought by the Toa, and seized by Umarak, who became the Destroyer when he put it on. to UmarakUmarakUmarak hunted the Elemental Creatures of Okoto until the Mask of Control bound him to Makuta's will and remade him as the Destroyer..

Then Agil shared a vision with Ekimu and the Toa: he had watched Umarak recover the pieces of the Mask of Ultimate PowerMask of Ultimate PowerA heretical Kanohi forged by Makuta of Okoto that contained the powers of all six elements and ruined the Mask Makers' civilization the moment it was worn., until the Destroyer noticed him and attacked. Agil had scratched at Umarak's eyes with his talons and escaped. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

Agil's ability to share his memories as visions meant the Toa saw Umarak's work for themselves. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

The Black Volcano and the decisive blast#

Agil went with the Toa and Ekimu into the Region of StoneRegion of StoneThe northwestern desert region of Okoto, home of the Stone Tribe and the Protector of Stone, site of the Battle of the Mask Makers and the Black Crater, and the territory through which Pohatu hunted for the Golden Mask of Stone. and the Black CraterBlack CraterThe vast depression in Okoto's Region of Stone, left when the Mask of Ultimate Power drew Capital City into the Shadow Realm, and the site from which Umarak later raised the Black Volcano., keeping watch to make sure the group stayed together as they chased Umarak. Usually perched on Ekimu's arm, he took to the air during their fights with the Elemental Beasts, and at one point used his talons to destroy the mask of a Storm Beast attacking Ekimu. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

Umarak climbed the mountain and placed the fragments of the Mask of Ultimate Power around the growing portal that would free Makuta. When the Toa arrived, they found themselves cut off from Okoto's elements, and Umarak trapped them in a mud-like mass of shadow. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

Ekimu merged with Agil, and together they unleashed a powerful blast of Light that stunned Umarak and freed the Toa from his shadow. Ekimu went back to his original form, but Agil disappeared. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

Powers, abilities, and partnership form#

Agil carries the element of Light and can share his memories as visions. When his Light combines with that of Ekimu's Toa form, the two can create an explosion strong enough to badly weaken Umarak. His natural weapons are his talons. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

The other Creatures each worked alongside a Toa. Agil's partner was the Mask Maker, and it was that partnership, not any of the Toa's, that broke the Destroyer's hold at the end. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)

Place in the campaign#

Agil's last act was the merge with Ekimu that freed the Toa. After the blast, Ekimu returned to his normal form and Agil was gone, and the show doesn't say what became of him. (LEGO Bionicle: The Journey to One)
