The 66 entries
- Blade Burrower: The Tunnelling Rahi of Metru NuiBlade Burrowers were powerful, near-blind Rahi that dug endless tunnels in a fixed pattern, a behavior the Great Beings engineered into them and that no one who studied the creatures was ever able to fully explain.
- ChargerCharger was a Kane-Ra bull transformed into a sentient being and recruited into the Dark Hunters, a brute fighter sent against big odds who solved every problem by force.
