"A tunnel. Not just a tunnel, but an enormous, yawning chasm in the ground. It plunged straight down into the earth, neither narrowing nor sloping before its depths were lost in the darkness below. And all around the walls, clambering up along steep channels carved in the stone, were more Bohrok. Dozens of them -- no, hundreds."

Location Under Mata Nui
Pronunciation BOH-rock

Bohrok Nests are the places where the Bohrok waited in hibernation for when the time to "clean" the island of Mata Nui arrived. At one point in the past, Matoran from the underground island of Metru Nui found Bohrok nests while working in the Lightstone Mines. The Toa Metru also encountered one nest while they were returning from the newly found Mata Nui, and Vakama had a vision of the Bohrok destroying everything on the new-found island.

About a thousand years later, after witnessing the supposed defeat of Makuta Teridax, Takua stumbled upon a Tahnok nest near the Mangaia. Unfortunately, it was at this moment that the weakened Makuta activated the signal that would awaken the Bohrok swarms. All around the island, the Bohrok began to awake in their hidden nests. Takua was fortunately able to escape while the Lehvak were still emerging from the nest. Some time later, Kopaka stumbled upon the entrance to a Tahnok nest. After he contacted the other Toa, they descended beneath the island and, from there, found the Exo-Toa and defeated the Bahrag; in the process, Tahu destroyed part of a Tahnok nest in an effort to escape and get back to the others. Afterward, the now Krana-less Bohrok returned to their nests and resumed their hibernation. This is also where the Bohrok-Kal tried to unleash the Bohrok Swarms once more and where they were defeated by their own power.

It is known that the different nests can have properties relating to the power of their respective Bohrok. Gahlok nests, for example, are submerged underwater.

The Bahrag were freed from the Protodermis Cage by the Toa Nuva as part of their destiny to awaken Mata Nui, and so the Bohrok left these places and emerged to the surface to clean the island. After their mission, they have returned to these nests.

The canisters of the Bohrok sets were designed to resemble the Bohrok Nests. The individual canisters can be aligned to create a full nest.
