Origin and selection#

The breeds he chose were not random. He picked a Disintegration KraataKraataSlug-like creatures birthed from Makuta's essence, designed as both weapons and the cores of Rahkshi armor., a Poison KraataKraataSlug-like creatures birthed from Makuta's essence, designed as both weapons and the cores of Rahkshi armor., and a Fragmentation KraataKraataSlug-like creatures birthed from Makuta's essence, designed as both weapons and the cores of Rahkshi armor., three forms whose powers between them could reduce stone, metal, and living tissue to fragments without leaving anything coherent enough for the MatoranMatoranThe most abundant species in the Matoran Universe, chosen by Mata Nui to inhabit and maintain his cosmic body. to rally around.

It was formerly wielded by the Guurahk and is no longer in use. it carried channelled the KraataKraataSlug-like creatures birthed from Makuta's essence, designed as both weapons and the cores of Rahkshi armor.'s power into a focused funnel of energy capable of reducing any inert obstacle to dust on contact. Its kinship to the Po-MatoranPo-MatoranThe Stone-element Matoran of Po-Metru and Po-Koro, carvers and quarry workers, the most athletic of the Matoran types and the population behind the Kohlii and Akilini circuits. was an unkind one: its power was, in every meaningful sense, the opposite of stone-carving.

The Disintegration breed was also temperamentally distinct from its siblings. Where the Fragmentation RahkshiRahkshiArmor suits powered by parasitic Kraata, Rahkshi were Teridax's most effective soldiers and among Bionicle's most visually iconic early enemies. preferred to detonate and the Poison RahkshiRahkshiArmor suits powered by parasitic Kraata, Rahkshi were Teridax's most effective soldiers and among Bionicle's most visually iconic early enemies. preferred to corrupt, the GuurahkGuurahkThe disintegration-breed Rahkshi released by Makuta Teridax to hunt down the Mask of Light, one of the first three sent to Mata Nui to kill the Herald before the Toa of Light could rise. was a planner. It would observe its target for as long as the situation permitted, locate the weakest structural point, and then strike at that point alone. Its KraataKraataSlug-like creatures birthed from Makuta's essence, designed as both weapons and the cores of Rahkshi armor. carried, by all available accounts, a colder and more methodical intelligence than those of the other two members of its triad.
