History
Lesovikk
Lesovikk is the first known Toa to have run into the beast. The Toa of Air encountered the beast during the long time he spent wandering the universe, attempting to atone for his failures. He is also the first known being to have been able to defeat the monster, though how he managed to do so remains unknown.
Toa Metru
At some point in time, Teridax lent the Rahi Nui to the Dark Hunters in order for them to hunt down Toa more effectively. It was later returned to him, and he placed it in his underground lair beneath Mata Nui. On their return journey to Metru Nui, the Toa Metru encountered the creature. As they were making their way through the underground tunnels, the Rahi Nui suddenly appeared and attacked them. After a short, but intense, battle, the Rahi Nui defeated all the Toa Metru except Vakama and Nuju. During combat, Nuju managed to examine a footprint left by the creature, and made an important discovery: though it increased in size after feeding upon their elemental energies, it's overall mass remained the same. Sharing this news with Vakama, they repeatedly hit the Rahi Nui until its body's molecules drifted apart. Before it fell, however, it was able to sting Toa Nokama, subjecting her to its fatal poison.
Toa Nuva
The Rahi Nui later reappeared in the Place of Shadow on Mata Nui, but without its special powers. Much like their predecessors, the Toa Nuva remained unable to defeat it for a short time, partly due to Turaga Vakama's refusal to tell them anything about his past experiences, and partly because of their refusal and inability to show unity and work together as a team. In the end however, Turaga Vakama used his Kanohi Huna, and the Rahi Nui's recognition and hatred of his voice to lure the Rahi Nui into a wall. The Rahi Nui charged so ferociously that when his head rammed into the wall, the horns stuck, and the Turaga and the Toa Nuva were able to make a getaway. The Rahi Nui's status is unknown since the clearing of Mata Nui by the Bohrok and Mata Nui's rising.
Abilities and Traits
The Rahi Nui combines elements from several Rahi species: the head of a Kane-Ra, the forelegs of a Tarakava, the body of a Muaka, the stinger of a Nui-Jaga, and enlarged wings from a Nui-Rama.
The Rahi Nui also possessed all eight of the Kanoka powers and fed on Elemental Energy, making it invulnerable to elemental attacks.
Quotes
- "Beware the Rahi Nui . . . beware the beast of horns and claws, who stalks land, sea, and air. Born to seek the Toa, it will bring down all the works of Matoran in its path. You will know it by its roar, by the shaking of the ground as it strides, by the fierce glow of its eyes. Guard well against it, or it shall be the end of all."
