Most had four legs, though some variant specimens had six, giving them an unsettling silhouette. The ones who encountered them had no doubt they were in the presence of something genuinely dangerous.

The Shadow Rhotuka#

When fired at a target, it wrapped them in absolute darkness that moved with them wherever they went, cutting off sight, sound, and communication with the outside world alike. From the perspective of anyone watching, your ally or enemy had simply vanished into the dark. The brief flicker of a Kahgarak's shadow spinner meant separation so complete that victims might have been swallowed by another dimension entirely.

This power earned a grudging respect from the Rahaga, who fought the VisorakVisorak (Rahi)Spider-like Rahi employed by the Brotherhood of Makuta whose name meant 'Stealers of Life' and whose swarms threatened the Matoran Universe. across Metru NuiMetru NuiThe city beneath Mata Nui functions as the Great Spirit's brain, housing the Matoran whose labor keeps the god alive..

The Zivon was so destructive that targeting Kahgarak during a summoning to strand the beast in its own dimension seemed like a brilliant strategy on paper. The Rahaga rejected the idea because the cure would have been worse than the disease.

The End of the Horde#

Like all VisorakVisorak (Rahi)Spider-like Rahi employed by the Brotherhood of Makuta whose name meant 'Stealers of Life' and whose swarms threatened the Matoran Universe., the Kahgarak were destroyed when the horde was summoned to ArtidaxArtidaxArtidax was a volcanic island in the Southern Islands where Makuta Miserix was imprisoned by Krika after Teridax's coup. by the Heart of the VisorakHeart of the VisorakA golden crystal that compels every Visorak in the universe to converge on its location when activated., only to be consumed by a volcanic eruption.
