[carve] Biography
Like all Makuta, Gorast once worked solely on creating new Rahi. Gorast was the ruler of the Tren Krom Peninsula, was the Makuta that conquered the Visorak hordes, and is designated as "The Mistress of the Acid Falls."
After the defeat of the League of Six Kingdoms, Gorast journeyed with Mutran to the territory of Kalmah. They found nothing but a pile of rock and debris. When Gorast spotted a few stragglers, she began hunting them down.
When Teridax demanded a Convocation to reveal the plan and claim leadership, Gorast was one of the first to side with him. After Teridax had assumed leadership of the Brotherhood of Makuta, he ordered Gorast and Icarax to eliminate all of the Makuta who had initially opposed his plan. After killing the Makuta, they placed their Kanohi in the Convocation Chamber as a warning to those who would oppose Teridax.
While visiting Stelt once, Gorast was attacked by Krekka, who denied her entrance to the island. They engaged in a battle, during the course of which she was sent through a wall from a blow by Krekka. She retaliated fiercely, resulting in the loss of one of his eyes and his departure from Stelt.
Five years ago, Gorast witnessed a fight between Mazeka and Vultraz, although she had transformed herself into a blue armored warrior with a chain mace and shield. When Vultraz fell over a cliff, she helped Mazeka up from the cliff face. She then introduced herself as a friend, and complimented his actions. After Mazeka left, she shapeshifted back into a more usual form of hers.
After some Rahi under control of Gorast rescued Vultraz, she had him transported elsewhere and tied up with vines. She then confronted Vultraz. She started a discussion with the frightened Matoran, and frequently read his mind. She explained to him that she had made some changes to him so he would be unrecognizable. Gorast then told Vultraz to find a Matoran of Sonics, named Krakua, and what he should do with him, should Vultraz find him.
While Mutran was working in his laboratory once, a Shadow Matoran was sent flying through it. The Matoran turned out to be Vultraz, now a former spy under Gorast. Vultraz had learned the location of Karda Nui, but did not tell the Brotherhood. When Gorast learned of this, she attacked him. Afterwards, she informed Teridax, who immediately instructed the Makuta to invade Karda Nui.
[carve] Karda Nui
Gorast and several other Makuta were assigned to invade Karda Nui's swamp in order to control Mata Nui's situation. Gorast and her allies took the form of fearsome swamp insects to match the environment. Upon entering the swamp, however, they were mutated by the mutagen in its waters and locked in the forms they had at the time, as well as resulting in the loss of many of their powers. Gorast also developed a stinger on the front of her face that gave her the ability to drain Light.
While Gali was searching the swamp for the Ignika, Gorast rose out of the swamp when she passed overhead. While thinking over her role in the Brotherhood of Makuta, she began doubting about the plan and how long it was taking. She then rejected these thoughts, and decided that the plan was all that mattered. She then silently glided on her wings to attack Gali, thinking only of feasting on her Light and getting the Keystone that the Toa of Water was retrieving.
Suddenly, Gali turned and attacked Gorast, throwing her into a tree. While Gali fired another water blast, Gorast ducked and plowed into Gali's midsection. Gali threw a water sphere around Gorast's head, cutting off her air. Gali fired her Nynrah Ghost Blaster, while banishing the water sphere, and chains of energy coiled around Gorast, trapping her. Breaking the chains, Gorast charged again at Gali, who increased the moisture in the mud and sunk her foe up to the neck. Gorast then plunged under the mud pool and emerged behind Gali, driving her stinger into Gali's back and attempting to feast on her light.
Onua suddenly appeared, lifting Gorast and slamming her down with all his might into the mud. Gorast rose, and offered Onua a role in the Brotherhood. Onua refused, and summoned a geyser of mud and fled with Gali in the direction of Tahu's flare. Gorast pursued Onua and Gali to where Tahu and Krika were, teaming up with Bitil along the way. While the Toa reunited, the Makuta began circling around the three Toa until they saw Chirox fall from the sky. They moved to intercept his plummet, while the Toa Nuva made a hasty retreat.
When the Toa attacked Krika's camp they misled the Makuta by using new powers and retrieved another Keystone. The three Makuta confronted them and learned from Bitil that the Ignika had created itself a body, and already defeated Icarax. Shocked by this and distracted, the Toa managed to escape. When Gorast wanted to pursue, Krika instead took them to the Codrex, correctly assuming its importance to the Toa.
The Toa Nuva attacked the Makuta again, with Gali taking Gorast by surprise by surrounding her head in a water sphere. Krika shot Gali with a shadow blast, only for her to be saved again by Onua and his Nynrah Ghost Blaster. Gorast then attacked Onua, but he planted a solid blow, sending her away. Then Antroz, Chirox, Vamprah and their Shadow Matoran arrived from their defeat above. After Chirox helped Gorast they cornered the three Toa, but the Phantoka Toa Nuva and the three Av-Matoran were following, and Toa Nuva were reunited as well. They then flew into the final battle.
| Spoiler Warning: Plot or ending details follow. (Please highlight the white space below if applicable) |
The battle was a fierce one, with Toa fighting Makuta. During the battle, Gorast slammed Pohatu and Photok into the Codrex's shield. She then used her Felnas and sent the Toa's elemental power to go wild. Within a moment, the Toa was buried under his own stone power, but he later freed himself.
When Takanuva arrived and aided the Toa Nuva, the Makuta retreated back to the Codrex. The Toa, after discussing the Keystones and their strategy, attacked the Makuta once again. During that battle, Gorast attacked the Toa Ignika, slashing deep into his armor. In response, the Ignika created a creature of rock and backhanded Gorast out of sight.
While the Toa entered the Codrex, Gorast and the other Makuta surrounded it. When Krika destroyed the energy field around the Codrex, Gorast and the other Makuta realized that Krika betrayed them, but could not prevent it. When Icarax appeared, attempting to kill the Toa Nuva, she and Vamprah went to confront him. Their attack was futile, however, until Mutran aided them by filling Icarax's head with white noise. Gorast telepathically sent Vamprah messages, and Icarax began teleporting back to the swamp. Screaming, Gorast and Vamprah directed their mask and sonic powers, respectively, at Icarax's teleporting atoms, scattering them all across the universe.
Later, caught in another fight with the Toa Nuva, the storm began to start. Krika, trying to help his fellow Makuta get out, flew down to the battle and commanded them to stop fighting. Claiming that Teridax had betrayed them all, Gorast's mind began slipping and she grabbed him, using her powers to disrupt his intangibility. Krika became so intangible his matter had completely dissipated and Gorast carried on fighting the Toa, who were, however, shortly after picked up by the three vehicles. After Mutran was killed by the storm, Gorast realized something was wrong. Bitil, Antroz, and she were penned into one small area from the size of the storm, and then she truly cracked, murmuring that Krika had been right, they would all die, and other gibberish. The Makuta, helpless against the storm, met their gruesome end from the energy of the storm.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Gorast had control over the Element of Shadow and the ability to produce Kraata.
Because of her mutation, Gorast developed a stinger on her face which could suck Light from other beings, similar to Shadow Leeches and the Avsa. If she did not feed on the light of others for a prolonged period of time, she would die. However, when she drained the light out of a being, she did not create a psychic barrier preventing the light from being restored. Thus, the only way she could create a Shadow being was to drain all of the light out of her victim.
Gorast had also lost many of her Kraata powers to mutation. However, she still possessed the power scream, density control, chain lightning, shattering, sonic, and molecular disruption abilities. In addition to these Kraata powers, Gorast still could use telepathy as well. Due to the exposure, she also re-gained the ability and need to breathe (both of which she lost during the Makuta's evolution).
Gorast was a fierce warrior and is said to have been as "friendly as cuddling up with a spiked lava eel." She was also a fanatical believer in Teridax's Plan, having found death in the name of it to be a passion. Gorast considered herself to be a Makuta of vision, just like Teridax.
[carve] Mask and Tools
Gorast wore the Kanohi Felnas, the Mask of Disruption, which allowed her to disrupt the natural powers of others. In addition to sharp claws and wing blades, she also carried a Nynrah Ghost Blaster.
Gorast once carried a chain mace and shield when she transformed into a blue colored warrior.
