[carve] Biography

Ehlek in Barraki: Creeps From the Deep.
Ehlek in Barraki: Creeps From the Deep.

Ehlek and his aquatic species are native to the seas around the island of Zakaz. His entire species was modified in secret by the Order of Mata Nui to fight the Brotherhood of Makuta in case they ever betrayed the universe. However, they were never able to be put in use until millennia later when they were used to sink a fleet of Zyglak ships.

As a part of the League of Six Kingdoms, Barraki Ehlek ruled the western chain of islands of the Matoran Universe, which included Zakaz. During this time, he used a specialized breathing apparatus that permitted him to breathe while on dry land. When the League was defeated by Teridax, the Barraki were taken to The Pit by Botar.

[carve] The Pit

After the Great Cataclysm, the inmates of the Pit escaped into the surrounding sea. However, they soon were mutated by the mutagenic waters into water breathers. Ehlek, having already been a water breather, mutated only slightly, growing spines and gaining the ability to emit electric shocks through them.

The Barraki soon began asserting themselves as the rulers of the sea and began building new armies. Ehlek took control of the Venom Eels native to the seas, and also recruited fellow escapee Nocturn to serve as his lieutenant. Ehlek also built a fortress for the Barraki to rule from, but it was crushed when the city of Mahri Nui broke off into the sea.

Ehlek, along with the other Barraki learned of the Ignika from Kalmah. Ehlek suggested the Barraki split up to search for it. While they looked, Ehlek decided to use the rumor for his own good and launches an attack with his eels on Mahri Nui. Carapar (On Takadox's orders) told Ehlek he might destroy the Ignika with his attack. Ehlek ceased the battle, and went off with Carapar to Pridak's cave.

They went to search for evidence that one of the Barraki was a traitor, but instead found Brutaka. After a talk, they decided to work together to find the Ignika. However, the Ignika had enlarged one of Ehlek's eels into a 300-foot monster. Regardless, The two Barraki and Brutaka met Pridak and went to find Kalmah, who had cornered the Po-Matoran Dekar with the mask. After Brutaka tried to get the mask from Dekar, and was dragged away by a Giant Squid, Ehlek struck Dekar with bolts of electricity, causing the Matoran to drop the mask. After Pridak touched the Ignika and set off a beam of light, Ehlek was against the wall, babbling like a lunatic.

Soon after Pridak obtained the Ignika, Ehlek and the others ran into 5 of the Toa Mahri, at the Fields of Airweed. The Toa pretended to be prisoners of The Pit, and were led into separate caves guarded by Rahi by the Barraki.

After the Toa were dealt with, The Barraki had a fight about who, how and when they get to use the mask. After the fight was resolved, Ehlek and Pridak entrusted the mask with Nocturn, along with a Squid Launcher. Then, he was injured and taken for "interrogation" by Pridak on where Nocturn went to with the Ignika.

Ehlek's eels were trapped under the seafloor by Toa Mahri Hewkii and Nuparu, and Ehlek used his electrical powers to defeat the Toa. Afterwards, when the Toa awoke and finished the job when Hewkii used his Garai to crush the eels that inhabited a trench with Pridak's army of Takea Sharks.

While Matoro and Maxilos were confronting Pridak and Takadox in a battle, Ehlek, assuming it was Pridak who damaged his army, led his eels to attack Pridak's sharks.

Days after, Mantax had summoned the other Barraki to the Razor Whale's Teeth to reveal the traitor. After explosions, battles, and the truth, Maxilos revealed he was Teridax, causing the Barraki (excluding Takadox) to battle him and all except Pridak being knocked out. While Teridax handled Takadox, Ehlek gathered his army of eels to attack the Makuta of Metru Nui, striking him along with the other Barraki's armies.

Soon after the Maxilos robot was destroyed, the Barraki went to chase the Toa Mahri. During the chase, Ehlek felt cold (he felt Mata Nui dying). While Ehlek and the other Barraki were beating them in battle, Jaller prepared a Nova Blast. Just as all the Barraki and Toa Mahri were about to be destroyed, Matoro sacrificed himself to revive Mata Nui, and teleported the other Toa Mahri away to Metru Nui.

[carve] Order of Mata Nui

Shortly after this, he and Kalmah were captured and imprisoned by Hydraxon. Later, Hydraxon, on orders from the Order of Mata Nui, gave Ehlek, along with Mantax, Kalmah, and Pridak, a choice between fighting against the Makuta in the Order of Mata Nui/Brotherhood of Makuta war for their freedom, or an even worse punishment than they already had. Pridak soon chose to fight against the Brotherhood of Makuta for the remaining Barraki.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

After Pridak, he is the Barraki most ruled by emotion. He is extremely bitter and angry against the Matoran of Mahri Nui, blaming them for destroying his fortress. At one point, Carapar assumed he was using the Ignika as an excuse to get revenge on the Matoran.

Ehlek also has a very cautious nature, and is usually aware of everything around him. He believed that one of the Barraki had betrayed them all to the Brotherhood, and that Pridak knew who it was.

Ehlek has the ability to send electrical shocks through the water to a target from his spines. His electrical spines were granted to him by the mutagen in The Pit. He wields Tri-Talons that are made of Protosteel and were given to him by the Order of Mata Nui. These blades were specifically made to tear and rend Makuta armor. He also wields a Squid Launcher.

[carve] Army

Ehlek commands an army of Venom Eels and electric eels. He also has a four-armed lieutenant named Nocturn, who he has recruited for protection. His original army in the League had more members of his own species than the other Barraki had of their respective species, since he severely distrusted anything that didn't breathe water. The Dark Hunter Amphibax was originally a member of Ehlek's army until his banishment to The Pit.

Ehlek was released as a 54-piece set in the first half of 2007. The set included a pair of Tri-Talons, two Sea Squids which could be attached to his right hand via a pair of clips, and a Squid Launcher. His head and spines, the latter made of soft, rubbery plastic, were blended from yellow and transparent green plastic. One could squeeze his mandibles to make them pinch together.

An Ehlek minifigure was released in 2007 in the Toa Undersea Attack playset. In this set he featured a recolored Kalmah minifigure head with red eyes, since a minifigure head piece for him was not created.

The Ehlek set can be combined with the Carapar and Mantax sets to create the Pit War Tortoise.
