Biography
Radiak is an Av-Matoran renowned for his courage and warrior-like spirit. After the Makuta struck, he continued to fight for what he believed in. One day, while he went to repair a Lightvine, his Light was sucked from afar from the Makuta known as Vamprah, using his Avsa. Transformed into a Shadow Matoran, Radiak went off to the Makuta's base, and was mutated by Mutran into a four-legged being, due to the fact that Mutran was moody at the time.
When Matoro used the Ignika and brought Mata Nui back to life, the resulting light blinded the Makuta. Unable to see, the remaining Av-Matoran proceeded to mount an offensive against the Makuta. Unwilling to let this be a major setback, the Makuta used Shadow Matoran pilots for their 'eyes'. Radiak quickly became the favored sight of Makuta Antroz. During one such battle, the Toa Nuva suddenly appeared. Even though confused, they aided the Av-Matoran, forcing the Makuta and Shadow Matoran into retreat.
Later on, while Pohatu and Photok were on guard duty, Radiak lured Pohatu and his former best friend, Photok, into a trap set by the Makuta, saying he had stolen the Makuta's battle plans. This quickly led to another air-conflict, during which the Toa were captured. After they freed themselves, yet another conflict ensued, during which the Shadow Leech Hive was destroyed. Mutran, sensing a Makuta defeat, called his fellow brothers to retreat into the swamp, before retreating himself. Radiak followed Antroz into the swamp, preparing for the final battle.
After Antroz entered the Codrex, Radiak was left outside. When he stole the Jetrax T6, Kopaka left the Codrex in pursuit of Antroz, only to be stopped by Radiak. Takanuva emerged during the fight, and took over for Kopaka so he could continue his chase. During the fight, Radiak mocked Takanuva, calling him a "Toa of Twilight," but instead of attacking him, Takanuva became more determined to find a cure for him. With help from Tanma, Photok, and Solek, Takanuva was able to subdue Radiak.
After some time, Vican approached the group and stated that he had found a cure for the Shadow Matoran in the form of a Rahi. After some time, they found the Rahi, a Klakk, and Radiak tried to hit it with a shadow blast. He missed, but did manage to anger the Klakk, which then unleashed a sonic scream, turning Radiak back into an Av-Matoran. Upon his restoration, he revealed part of the Makuta's Plan.

Under the order of Takanuva, Radiak and the other Av-Matoran fled Karda Nui and traveled to Metru Nui. There, they celebrated the reawakening of Mata Nui, although the occupants of Coliseum were soon interrupted by Teridax who announced his rule over the universe.
Abilities and Traits
Radiak is a fierce fighter, and is a famous hero among the Av-Matoran.
After being corrupted, he enjoyed fighting his old friends and witnessing them being ambushed by the Makuta. He fought using his teeth and sharp leg blades.
While physically connected with a Makuta, Radiak had the ability to make his opponents sloth-like in that they would be too slow and lazy to make an escape. While a Shadow Matoran, he was able to fire blasts of shadow energy.
Both prior to and after his time as Shadow Matoran, Radiak possessed the ability to channel minute amounts of Light energy and change the color of his armor like all Av-Matoran.
When Radiak was mutated as the rest of the Shadow Matoran were, Mutran turned him into a quadruped, as he was moody that day. These mutations have yet to be undone.
