History
Mata Nui
Makuta Teridax created six Rahkshi and placed them in large green pillars in his lair, Mangaia. Upon learning that the Avohkii had been discovered, Teridax placed a Kraata in a Lerahk's, Guurahk's, and Panrahk's Rahkshi armor, ordering them to go after Takua and take the Avohkii.
During Rahkshi's attack on Ta-Koro, the Lerahk encountered Turaga Vakama who attempted to hold them off until Tahu recovered from being blasted through the wall and came to fight the Rahkshi. During its encounter with Tahu, the Lerahk poisoned him, forcing the Toa back as it proceeded to poison the ground around and it was later responsible, along with the Panrahk and Guurahk, for the destruction of the village. After chasing Takua, the three Rahkshi got into a fight with Toa Nuva Tahu, Gali and Lewa, with Lerahk poisoning a cliff side that Tahu was standing on, turning it into dust and attempting to finish the Toa off. Lerahk plunged his staff at him, but Tahu dodged the attack and began to fight him. Their battle was interrupted by Lewa and Guurahk crashing into them. Lerahk then poisoned the ground around the Toa Nuva to imprison them under the cliff before attacking the rocks above to bring them tumbling down upon the Toa.
The three Rahkshi followed Takua to Ko-Wahi, pursuing the Matoran holding the Avohkii, onto a lake, which they were frozen inside by Kopaka.
After they broke out of the ice, the Rahkshi ambushed Kopaka, who had been waiting for a meeting. Lerahk attacked first, but was frozen before he reached Kopaka. Lerahk then escaped with the other Rahkshi after they caused a distraction, to avoid fighting Kopaka with Tahu, Gali and Lewa who had come to aid their fellow Toa Nuva.
During their hunting for Takua, Lerahk combined with Turahk and Kurahk to form a Rahkshi Kaita Za. It and its brother Rahkshi Kaita Vo caused destruction in Le-Wahi and confronted Tahu, Kopaka and Lewa, making the former two feel angry and afraid, respectively. The Rahkshi Kaita then attacked the two with cyclone powers, temporarily downing them. However, it was hit by an attack the Kaita Vo made at Lewa, which was redirected at the Rahkshi by Kopaka. Tahu then brought part of the mountainside down on the Kaita. Lerahk, Turahk and Kurahk later split into their individual selves again.
Lerahk and the other Rahkshi then tracked Takua to Kini-Nui. During the following battle against the Toa Nuva, Lerahk, along with Panrahk and Guurahk, was imprisoned in glass by Lewa and Tahu Nuva. Its armor was later dismantled to construct the Ussanui.
Abilities and Traits
Lerahk are strong, fast, and cunning, but are not the most intelligent of the Rahkshi.
Tools
Lerahk use their Staffs of Poison to poison anything, be it plants, Rahi, soil, or any foe it might choose. They are immune to their own poison. They cannot use their staffs at long range, however; they must actually touch their target.
Set Information
Lerahk was released as a set in the summer of 2003. It contained forty-five pieces, including a rubbery Kraata. It could be combined with the Turahk and Kurahk sets to form the Rahkshi Kaita Za. Certain canister sets were packaged with a mini CD that explained the characters of Lerahk and Takanuva.
Trivia
- Lerahk's power of Poison is in direct opposition to the Ga-Matoran Principle of Purity.
