Function#

The Ice Shields enabled each KohrakKohrakIce-wielding Bohrok from the 2002 original wave, the foundational design for all subsequent Bohrok variants. to generate ice and freeze targets. Their freezing power reached even open flames and molten rock, which made them a match for the fiery land of Ta-WahiTa-WahiTa-Wahi was the volcanic region of Mata Nui surrounding the Mangai Volcano, encompassing Ta-Koro, the Lake of Fire, the Charred Forest, and the Ta-Wahi Beach..
