Kraata are slug-like creatures of darkness with minor power created from the essence of a Makuta. They resemble slugs and can infect masks by touch, though a seventh-level Kraata can do so at a distance. They have many powers, and are what Rahkshi are created from when exposed to Energized Protodermis. Although a Makuta could in theory create an infinite number of Kraata, they don't because every time they create a Kraata it weakens them for a short period of time.

Kraata were first released in set form in the later half of 2003. Each Rahkshi set contained one Kraata in the color of the Kraata whose power matched the Rahkshi in question.

Also released in 2003 was the "Kraata" set, a small canister including three Kraata bearing any of 42 color combinations and any of the six stages of Kraata. Also contained were two randomly selected stickers from a set of twelve designs including Takanuva, Teridax, the symbol of the Three Virtues, a Kraata, any of the six Rahkshi sets, the graphic of the word "Rahkshi" used in promotional material for those sets, and the promotional image of the Avohkii and Kraahkan around a glowing Mata Nui that was likewise used copiously in 2003 advertisements.

Released somewhat later in the same year were six limited edition versions of the same six Rahkshi sets, this time each containing one purple Shadow Kraata in any of the six shapes rather than the Kraata of the color combinations previously featured in the Rahkshi sets.

Pairs of shoes with a Guurahk design released by Nike in 2003 were packaged with a non-canon transparent neon orange stage one Kraata.

[carve] Trivia

  • Matoran would classify Kraata as Rahi, even though they are not.
