[carve] Biography

Keetongu originally came from an island where his species and the Tahtorak lived together, with the latter being a steed for the simian-like Rahi. At some point, their island was plagued by the Visorak, and Keetongu's species was rendered extinct, save for him. Keetongu migrated to Metru Nui, where his presence went unnoticed for centuries.

Keetongu was believed to be only a myth by many, including Iruini, but was found to actually exist when the Toa Hordika discovered him in the Ko-Metru Hideaway. After talking with Norik, he assisted five of the Toa Hordika during the Battle of Metru Nui. During the battle, Keetongu scaled the side of the Coliseum in an attempt to fight Sidorak and Roodaka. While Keetongu was still climbing, Sidorak tried multiple times to hit him with a blast from his Herding Blade, but continuously missed. Roodaka then fired a pair of blasts from her Catcher Claws that destroyed Keetongu's claw tool and then knocked him off the wall of the Coliseum. She convinced Sidorak that they should make sure he was deceased, and when they checked, they discovered that he was actually more angry than hurt. He got to his feet and killed Sidorak, whom Roodaka had abandoned. After the battle, Keetongu felt that the Toa Hordika were worthy of his power, and changed them back to Toa Metru.

When Vakama returned to Metru Nui to retrieve the Vahi, Keetongu sensed the presence of Makuta Teridax and followed him and Vakama to Ga-Metru, where he fought Teridax outside the Great Temple. During the course of the battle, his Rhotuka spinner compartment was sealed shut and he was knocked unconscious. Though he was beaten by the Makuta, Keetongu managed to survive the encounter thanks to an explosion caused by Vakama's battle with Sentrakh that knocked Teridax away. He has since recovered from his wounds.

Keetongu chose to stay in Metru Nui while the Toa Metru, now Turaga, and the Matoran lived on the island of Mata Nui, helping to rebuild the city. He eventually left to save victims of the Visorak on other islands, and his current location is unknown.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

Keetongu has knowledge of many antidotes, including one to cure Hordika Venom. He cannot cure those who have been fully mutated, however.

Keetongu's large eye is actually not his true eye. In fact, he has a pair of eyes hidden behind it. He can use the fake eye to judge whether a being is good or evil, and therefore worthy of his allegiance and power. He also possesses tremendous strength, rivaling that of a Makuta. Keetongu is extremely durable as well, able to survive a fall from near the top of the Coliseum.

[carve] Tools

Keetongu wields Whirling Shields which are capable of absorbing any force used against him. Once that force is absorbed, his Rhotuka can fire that force back at his opponent. His other main offensive weapon is a blade-like claw tool that he can use as a weapon or as a sort of pickaxe to assist him in climbing. Both the claw and his Rhotuka launcher were damaged during his battles on Metru Nui, their current status is unknown.

[carve] Set Information

Keetongu was released as a set in 2005. He included a bright red Rhotuka spinner. A lock on his chest armor allowed one to open his chest cavity and fire a Rhotuka spinner as in the story. His whirling shields could be spun with an axle on his right arm, and their area increased as they spun and decreased when they again became still. The Keetongu set contained 201 pieces which could be combined with the pieces of Roodaka to create The Shadowed One combiner, with the pieces of Sidorak to create Sentrakh, or with the pieces of both Sidorak and Roodaka to create the Voporak combiner.

[carve] Trivia

  • Keetongu is not a species name, but the actual name for this particular one. He is, however, thought to be the only one of his species still alive.
  • Keetongu was on the cover of BIONICLE: Dark Hunters due to a printing error by Scholastic. In The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet, Greg Farshtey corrected this error by attributing chameleon powers to known Dark Hunter Triglax, and in the story he was disguised as Keetongu.
