[carve] Biography

Kirop was the leader of the Av-Matoran, and was present when the Av-Matoran colonized Karda Nui. During the Siege of the Stalactite Villages, he was able to tell the Matoran that they were facing the Makuta. He led a rescue mission on the second day, but only succeeded in having his light drained. He has been transformed by Chirox to act as the blind Makuta's eyes. Having once been the leader of the Av-Matoran, he knows everything about the resistance and uses this knowledge against them.

After Kirop was transformed, he kept a part of the Keystone in his possession as one of the duties of being Karda Nui's leader. In an attempt by the Toa Nuva to get a hold of it, Lewa knocked him out of the sky with a gust of wind. Kopaka quickly got to the place where he fell and he was imprisoned by them in a Matoran shelter.

The Toa Nuva then purposely allowed him to overhear a fabricated story about how they had discovered a method of destroying all of the Makuta's Shadow Leeches, hoping he would flee to the Shadow Leech Hive and lead them there. He soon departed and unknowingly led them and their Matoran partners to the hive, where Toa Ignika joined them.

Later, after the hive was destroyed by Toa Ignika, Mutran blamed Kirop for the destruction of the hive and threatened to kill him, but Antroz intervened and told him that, as long as they still fought the war, it was important not to get rid of anyone on their side.

Kirop was later cured and transformed back into an Av-Matoran by a Klakk, and has resumed his post as leader of the Av-Matoran.

Spoiler Warning: Plot or ending details follow. (Please highlight the white space below if applicable)

Under the order of Takanuva, Kirop and the other Av-Matoran fled Karda Nui and traveled to Metru Nui. There, they celebrated the reawakening of Mata Nui and the confrontation with Teridax.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

While connected with Chirox, Kirop could access the ability to steal an opponent's sight. He, like the rest of the Shadow Matoran, could also fire bolts of Shadow energy. He disliked Gavla because she was the leader of the Shadow Matoran, a right he believed was his.

Kirop used claw blades and his razor-sharp wings as his main weaponry.

Kirop was released in early 2008 as one of the six Matoran sets and consists of 14 pieces. He can be attached to Chirox's back. Like all Shadow Matoran, Kirop wears a mask featuring a blend of two colors of plastic-- in his case, black and silver. Kirop is also advertised to attach to Makuta Krika's back via the Matoran connection feature, although it is just to promote the function and isn't used in the story.
