BIONICLE: Dark Hunters is a BIONICLE Guide book released in 2006. The book includes 28 Dark Hunters bios, 9 of which are created by the BIONICLE team. The book is written in a first-person perspective, written by The Shadowed One. Most of the Dark Hunters in this book, including The Shadowed One's entry, don't give away the character's real name. Rather, it is a code name based on some aspect of the Dark Hunter in specific. Ten of them, though, (Avak, Nidhiki, Krekka, Thok, Zaktan, Vezok, Hakann, Reidak, Amphibax, and Firedracax) are the characters' real names. At the end of each entry is a 'Status' section, which provides information on what that Dark Hunter is doing. For instance, one is trying to find the Order of Mata Nui, while another is checking out rumors that Teridax is deceased.
[carve] Introduction
The Dark Hunters - for thousands of years, that name has brought fear into the hearts of everyone from Toa to members of the Brotherhood of Makuta itself. Gathered from every corner of the universe, these thieves, enforcers, and monstrosities have come together in an organization whose reach extends into every council chamber and every shadowy corner. I, The Shadowed One, brought these warriors and wanderers together. For the right price, they will do anything, regardless of the danger. Those of them who are wise have learned to fear my wrath far more than any consequence of their deeds. My Dark Hunters have stolen artifacts worth more than the whole of Metru Nui; they've made Turaga vanish simply into the night; they've spied, deceived, and brought destruction to countless lands- all in the name of profit and power. In this volume, I have collected information one some of my most valued and effective Dark Hunters. Each has been assigned a unique (and false) name, in the event this collection should fall into the hands of Toa or some other self-appointed guardian of light. The sole exceptions are those Dark Hunters who do not leave my side, those who are no more, and those few who have become rogue. And, of course, here are some I have omitted from this record, for their current missions are such that even speaking their name could bring risk of exposure. I do not expect that anyone other than myself will ever read this. But if I am wrong, and someone else sets eyes upon it- well, I would advise that you stay in the light and stay close to whatever friends you have. For the Dark Hunters are no doubt already seeking you out...and you won't like what happens to you.
[carve] Trivia
- The front and back of the book feature Keetongu and the Vahki, respectively. This was due to a printing error by Scholastic. However, the Keetongu error was loop-holed and explained by Greg Farshtey that it may have been a Dark Hunter "who had some sort of chameleon power" and "appeared as a one-eyed yellow Rahi" in The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet. The Dark Hunter was later confirmed to be Triglax.
- Vezon's page of the book was ripped out and burned because The Shadowed One had thought that Vezon would hand over the Ignika once found, but he never did.
