Frequently asked questions

Who is Hewkii?
Hewkii was a Po-Matoran athlete who served successively as a Matoran of Po-Metru, the chief kolhii player of Po-Koro, a Toa Inika, and a Toa Mahri. His career spanned the Bohrok and Rahkshi crises, the recovery of the Kanohi Ignika, and the war against the Brotherhood of Makuta.
Why was Hewkii known as Huki on Mata Nui?
Hewkii was known as Huki on Metru Nui too. His time in a Matoran sphere left him smaller and weaker on Mata Nui, where he became Po-Koro's leading koli player. After the Bohrok-Kal attacks he was rebuilt into a stronger form, and on Naming Day his name was changed to Hewkii in honour of his deeds.
How did Hewkii become a Toa Inika?
When the Toa Nuva disappeared on their mission to Voya Nui, Hewkii joined Jaller, Hahli, Nuparu, Kongu, and Matoro on a second expedition to recover them and the Kanohi Ignika. On the way, the ruler of Karzahni forced a Sanok onto Hewkii in place of his Kakama. The six escaped in Toa canisters, and when they reached Voya Nui six bolts of lightning from the Red Star transformed them into Toa Inika.
What masks did Hewkii wear as a Toa?
As a Toa Inika, Hewkii bore the Sanok, Mask of Accuracy, which ensured any projectile he launched struck its intended target. After the Ignika's burst of energy at the foot of the Cord remade him into a Toa Mahri, he gained the Garai, Mask of Gravity, which let him manipulate the weight of any object or being within its range.
What happened to Hewkii at the end of the Bionicle story?
Hewkii survived Teridax's reign, though by its end he and the other Toa Mahri had fallen under the spell of a Skakdi fusion on Zakaz. They left the Matoran Universe with the Skakdi and reached Spherus Magna in that state.
