Containment failure and the cull order#

The Underwater RahiRahiThe Rahi were the biomechanical wildlife of the Matoran Universe, built largely by the Brotherhood of Makuta, ranging from background fauna to engineered war beasts. Study confirmed the corps' standing assumption about the lower levels. The recovered sea RahiRahiThe Rahi were the biomechanical wildlife of the Matoran Universe, built largely by the Brotherhood of Makuta, ranging from background fauna to engineered war beasts. proved more dangerous than the project had budgeted for. They damaged containment, killed handlers, and on at least one occasion broke into chambers their classifiers had not predicted they could reach. The casualty rate showed no sign of stabilising.
