Ketar
Ketar is an Elemental Creature of Stone native to Okoto, bearing neon yellow, silver, and brown coloration. Armed with crystal blades, Ketar is devoted to protecting the Region of Stone and aiding the Toa in their missions on the island.
Ketar is the Creature of Stone, the physical embodiment of that element. Millennia ago, when OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors. was first created, Ketar and the five other Elemental Creatures were formed from the island's elements. Ketar took its place among the others as one of seven such beings: Agil the Creature of Light, Akida the Creature of Water, Ikir the Creature of Fire, Melum the Creature of Ice, Terak the Creature of Earth, and Uxar the Creature of Jungle.
When the Protectors of Okoto set out to obtain Elemental Crystals capable of powering the Golden Masks that would later be worn by the Toa, the Protector Kerato received his crystal from Ketar.
Ketar was destined to unite with Pohatu, Master of Stone, but the two shared the weakest bond of any Toa and Creature. Umarak the Hunter observed this and singled out the Creature of Stone as his target while seeking the Mask of Control. Inside the Labyrinth of Control, where the mask lay hidden in a chamber that required all six Toa united with their Creatures to open, Pohatu hesitated to unite with Ketar. Umarak seized the moment, forcibly uniting with the Creature of Stone and entering the chamber to claim the mask.
At the edge of the Labyrinth, Umarak threw Ketar from a cliff, forcing Pohatu to choose between rescuing the Creature and reclaiming the mask. Pohatu chose to save Ketar, and Umarak escaped with the Mask of Control. The Toa then departed the Labyrinth to return to Okoto.
