[carve] Biography
Chirox, like all Makuta, once worked solely on creating new Rahi. Chirox often worked with Mutran, typically to deal with Spiriah's creations, which were usually below standard. Chirox's creations, for some reason, always came out twisted in spirit. His creations, such as the Doom Viper, contribute nothing to the environment but death. While the Brotherhood was still good, he also attended a meeting with the League of Six Kingdoms where the Barraki demanded that the Makuta continue to make Rahi after they took over. He sided with Teridax when he overthrew Miserix and helped Teridax and Mutran decide how best to strike at the Great Spirit Mata Nui.
It was Chirox who learned of the Makuta's evolution by studying part of Kojol's Antidermis and his armor, announcing it to the Makuta. Chirox was also the one who discovered that they could take over robots in this new evolved form, and although Mutran destroyed the Exo-Toa he was inhabiting, Chirox returned to his armor.
Some time later, Chirox approached Mutran over the latter's version of the Lohrak, a Rahi Chirox had originally created. Their argument ended, however, when Teridax caused the Great Cataclysm, causing the fortress on Destral to collapse on them.
[carve] Karda Nui
More recently, he and seven other Makuta were assigned to invade Karda Nui by air in order to control Mata Nui's situation and prevent the creation of any more Toa of Light by turning Av-Matoran into Shadow Matoran. He worked together with Mutran to create the Shadow Leeches used to transform the Matoran.
Like Antroz and Vamprah, Chirox was permanently blinded by the bright light caused by Matoro when he revived Mata Nui from death. Therefore, the Makuta chose three Shadow Matoran to act as their "eyes"; Chirox chose Kirop to act as his.
Shortly after, the Av-Matoran attacked the weakened Makuta. During that battle, the Toa Nuva appeared, scaring the Makuta back to their lair.
Once in safety, Chirox began to voice his suspicions about Teridax's Plan, wondering if Teridax hadn't sent them to the core to simply be rid of them. Antroz remained loyal to the plan, and sent Vamprah to fetch Mutran.
While Mutran worked on creating a fast flying Rahi, Chirox stood by and criticized it. Unsatisfied by Mutran's work, he tossed a Shadow Matoran into the Energized Protodermis vat, creating a hideous creature Antroz deemed "perfect."
Later, the Makuta battled with the three Toa Nuva, Kopaka, Pohatu and Lewa. During the battle, Chirox wounded Pohatu using a Shadow hand.
Chirox, along with Antroz and Vamprah, arrived at the Shadow Leech Hive just as Kopaka and Solek defeated Mutran. The three Makuta easily defeated Kopaka and Solek, and then knocked out the other Toa and Matoran with a mental attack. While Antroz interrogated the Toa, Chirox and Vamprah held the Av-Matoran hostage until Pohatu saved them. The Toa destroyed the Shadow Leech vats and then ran through Chirox and Vamprah using Pohatu's Kakama Nuva, causing the two great pain. Afterwards, the hive was destroyed by the Toa Ignika.
Shortly after the hive was destroyed, the Makuta regrouped at Antroz's cavern. Icarax arrived afterwards and the Makuta ventured to the last remaining Av-Matoran village to destroy it, only to find it deserted. They sped back to their cavern to stop the Toa from getting the keystone, but they were too late. The Toa had already gotten the stone and ambushed the Makuta before they reached the cavern. Chirox and Kirop were engaged by Kopaka, Pohatu, Solek, and Photok, and began to lose ground against them. He willingly headed down to the Swamp of Secrets when Vican delivered Mutran's message telling the Makuta to regroup there.

Chirox and Bitil were dispatched by Antroz to attack Takanuva, whom Chirox used his Shelek to turn Takanuva deaf and mute. Takanuva responded violently, bombarding Chirox with light bolts, and throwing Kirop off his back. Chirox and Bitil managed to escape when the latter used his chain lightning power to knock the Toa out. Later on, Chirox and the other Makuta in Karda Nui learned of the Energy Storms. Blind, hurt, and unable to escape, Chirox was killed in the storm.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Chirox was one of the top scientists of the Brotherhood of Makuta and was infamous for creating vicious and destructive Rahi. He was cunning and fought dirty in battle, but lived to do experiments and could typically be seen toying with some Rahi to make it more ferocious. He disliked Mutran's creations because he felt that they do not have enough teeth or weren't intelligent enough.
Chirox possessed many special powers typical to his species, which included elemental Shadow powers, shape-shifting, Kraata production, and the forty-two Kraata powers. Of the many Shadow abilities Chirox had control over, he was particularly skilled with manipulating a hand of Shadow, for he often used it to remotely move his experiments. Unlike most Makuta, he had enough skill with it to throw objects and to avoid the automatic retraction it usually performs. Like all the Makuta, Chirox evolved past the point of needing a body, and was therefore just energy inside armor.
[carve] Mask and Tools
Chirox wore the Kanohi Shelek, Mask of Silence. It can temporarily disable an opponent's ability to speak or hear. He also carried a Tridax Pod full of Shadow Leeches, and fought with a pair of Hook Blades.

[carve] Set Information
Chirox was released in winter 2008 and contained 49 pieces, as one of the three Phantoka Makuta canister sets. Pressing a button on Chirox's back opens his ribcage to deploy a Tridax pod holding the set's four Shadow Leeches. Chirox, along with the rest of the canister Phantoka, can "link-up" with his corresponding Matoran set. His arms are also folded up and can extend. Chirox's mask features a blend of black and silver plastic, just as most Makuta sets seen so far feature blended masks.
