Biography

Krika, like all Makuta, once worked solely on creating new Rahi. Krika was assigned to watch over the northern area of the Northern Continent. When the Brotherhood chose to put Mata Nui to sleep and attempt to seize power, Krika was one of the last to agree to go along with the plan, despite not expecting it to turn out well. Shortly afterwards, he was ordered by Teridax to kill their former leader, Miserix. However, Krika secretly disobeyed the order, and instead hid Miserix on Artidax, an island far to the south of the Matoran Universe. He also put many traps and Rahi to stop any other Makuta from going there to kill the imprisoned Miserix.

Karda Nui

More recently, he and several other Makuta were assigned to the swamps in Karda Nui to control Mata Nui's situation. Krika is the commander of the team, all of whom took the forms of swamp insects. Krika was the first of the three Makuta to arrive in the swamp, and was mutated most severely of them by the Pit Mutagen, locking him in his form, among other things.

Krika first revealed himself to the Toa Nuva near the Codrex when he appeared to feed on Tahu's energy. He conversed with Tahu about his fate, and his own musings as to why the Brotherhood wanted power so much. As Krika talked, Tahu used what little elemental energy he had left to heat the ground Krika was on, causing the Makuta to cry out in pain and drift back into the swamp. When the other two Toa Nuva arrived, he and the other two Makuta prepared to attack. Just then, Chirox fell from the sky, and the Toa were able to escape from the distracted Makuta, who were carrying Chirox.

Krika, Bitil, and Gorast then returned to his cave with a Keystone. The Toa Nuva believed they managed to trick the Makuta with time-delayed blasts of elemental energy, so they could enter the lair and steal the Keystone. However, Krika was not so easily deceived by this ruse, and soon doubled back with the others to confront the Toa. Tahu bluffed that they had found the Kanohi Ignika and given it to Pohatu. However, a telepathic message from the Phantoka Makuta revealed that the Ignika was indeed in the custody of the Toa in the air, to the surprise of everybody. The three Toa then escaped into the mud. Gorast wanted to go after them, but Krika stopped her, remembering something Teridax had told him about the Keerakh, and how it was not necessary to chase your opponents, simply to be waiting for them at their destination. The three Makuta then went to the Codrex to ambush the Toa Nuva.

Upon reaching the Codrex and seeing no sign of the Toa Mistika, Krika ordered the Makuta to wait in the shadows. Thinking about the Plan and how it would not help the universe in the least, Krika was caught unaware by the Toa Nuva. Battling Tahu, Krika told him a tale of the Lohrak and the Kavinika, and how if the Kavinika wins and slays the Lohrak with its teeth, the Kavinika still dies due to the poison contained in the Lohrak. After exchanging a few more blows, Krika bluffed that Tahu was too late, and that Bitil had already tampered with the field surrounding the Codrex, and that it would implode. Tahu called the bluff, and fired his Nynrah Ghost Blaster, trapping Krika in an energy field. They were soon joined by the Phantoka (both Toa and Makuta), and the two sides readied for a final battle.

In the ensuing battle, he briefly battled with Gali, even offering her mercy, and a chance to leave Karda Nui, until Takanuva intervened with a burst of Light. Seeing that a Toa of Light had joined the battle, Krika resigned himself to his fate and left the area.

Afterwards, Krika departed to the Codrex, and hovered just outside the energy field surrounding it. He was confronted by Icarax, who presuaded him to destroy the energy field by entering it in his intangible form and re-materializing in the middle of it. As the Codrex's energy field is only effective against known forces, whereas Krika's intangibility power came from mutation of swamp water, it meant that the field would not work against the Makuta. Krika succeeded in entering it and thus re-materializing inside it, and the field, stuck with something which it could not be rid of, soon overloaded and failed. Exhausted by the attempt, Krika fell to the ground.

Krika later took off, and eventually overheard Takanuva informing the Av-Matoran that the Energy Storms will hit Karda Nui once Mata Nui is reawakened, and that anybody who remains in the core will be killed. Krika sped off to inform the other Makuta, in hopes of convincing them that they were soon to be betrayed by their own leader. However, upon seeing Krika, Gorast fell into a mad rampage and used her disruption powers on Krika's intangibility powers. Eventually, Krika became so intangible that he became non-existing.

Dark Mirror

In the Toa Empire Pocket Dimension, Krika, along with Teridax and Kojol, reside in a chamber in the Archives. He took the form of a tall being "with armor lined with short, curved, and very sharp blades." He and Teridax asked Takanuva to eliminate Jaller and retrieve the Vahi for them. Before Takanuva left, he gave him a Virus, temporarily granting the Toa the ability to fly.

Krika later fought in the Rebellion Against the Toa Empire, using his Kraata power of Vacuum against Lewa until Teridax killed the Toa with a powerful bolt of lightning.

Abilities and Traits

Krika had control over the element of Shadow and had the ability to produce Kraata whose powers he still possessed after his mutation. He was extremely stealthy, able to seemingly vanish into the mists of the swamp at will.

The form Krika took in the swamps of Karda Nui had a third arm with which he held his Nynrah Ghost Blaster.

As a result of his mutation, Krika was locked in his current form and had lost the ability to shapeshift. He also lost access to many of the Kraata powers, which did not include his density control, chain lightning, and power scream abilities. He also had his telepathy ability.

Krika also gained the ability to drain heat from the air. As a result of his mutations, his density control power had gone out of control; in order to remain tangible, Krika needed to consume heat.

Krika believed that nothing good will come out of Teridax's grand plan if it succeeds, but also realized nothing good will happen to him if it fails, so for better or worse, he follows it. Krika also seems to show some rebellion against Teridax so he tries to disobey orders when it was safe for him to do so. This was demonstrated when he imprisoned Miserix instead of following Teridax's orders to kill him. He also took Gali and attempted to persuade her to leave Karda Nui so that Teridax's plan would not be fulfilled.

Mask and Tools

Krika wore the Kanohi Crast, a Great Mask of Repulsion. The Crast granted him the ability to repel any object away from himself at high speed. He could also manipulate the mask's power to allow himself to fly by repelling the ground. In addition, he carried a Nynrah Ghost Blaster that granted him the power to control any mechanical target he hits.

Set Information

Krika was released in summer 2008 as one of the three Mistika Makuta canisters sets, and contains 40 pieces.

He carries two spiked blades in his hand that are a dual color of light red and white, like his mask, and a Nynrah Ghost Blaster. He also has two smaller versions of the spiked blades attached to his ankles allowing him to stand up. He has a Matoran connection peg on his back, with Kirop being advertised as connecting to Krika, but it has no storyline significance.
