"Fohrok" were artificial Bohrok that were created on the Brotherhood of Makuta's orders.

History

The Brotherhood of Makuta, desiring the effectiveness of a Bohrok swarm, commissioned a group of Nynrah Ghosts[1] to build functioning replicas of the machines. The Ghosts built the machines as per the request. However, when they discovered what the Brotherhood was actually planning to do with the "Fohrok," they sabotaged most of them and the machines went out of control.[2] The inventors were swiftly executed by the Brotherhood.[3] The rampaging machines were destroyed by Makuta Teridax's squad of Toa Hagah, who had not yet discovered the Brotherhood's treachery.[4]

Abilities and Traits

Each "Fohrok" had one of the six powers of the real Bohrok,[5] though they were all colored yellow and blue to distinguish them from the actual swarms. Unlike the original Bohrok, the "Fohrok" did not need krana to function.[6]

Tools

The "Fohrok" each carried two hand-held shields with which to focus their Elemental Powers.[5]

Trivia

  • The fan-name "Fohrok" is a portmanteau of the words "Fake" and "Bohrok."[7] It was coined by BZPower user InnerRayg.[2]
