The Suukorak were a species of Visorak, the spider creatures that were formerly led by Sidorak. Their preferred hunting high above the ground, where the air is thin and cold.
History
The Suukorak, like all other Visorak, were created by Makuta Chirox on an island which was soon renamed Visorak after the spiders. The island is located south of Nynrah. Formerly led by Sidorak and Roodaka, king and viceroy of the Visorak hordes respectively, the hordes had conquered a number of islands, mutating Rahi in the proccess.
Metru Nui
Shortly after the Great Cataclysm, the Suukorak, along with the other Visorak species, invaded the wrecked city of Metru Nui, summoned by Makuta Teridax. When the Toa Metru returned to Metru Nui, the first Visorak they encountered were the Suukorak. The Visorak attacked the Toa while they were in the Moto-Hub. Nokama and Onewa were the first to encounter them. When the rest of the Toa arrived, the Suukorak withdrew. Rahaga Iruini then led the Visorak on a futile chase through the Archives. The Toa Metru were soon captured and Mutated into Toa Hordika. Later, when Nuju and Kualus were cutting off sections of chutes to use for their airships, they were ambushed by Suukorak, but managed to fight them off. When the Toa were searching for the Makoki Stones, Onewa was trapped by a Suukorak. Whenua saved Onewa by trapping the Suukorak with an earthquake. Later, Nokama had to force her way through some Suukorak after she found her Makoki Stone. Soon after, another Suukorak tried to attack Nokama and Nuju, but the latter trapped the Visorak in a block of ice. They also ambushed the Toa Hordika in the Great Temple after the Toa uncovered the Avohkii. Later, the Suukorak took part in the Battle for Metru Nui. After Vakama disbanded the horde, most Suukorak left Metru Nui for good.
Post-Metru Nui
The scatterred Visorak was soon gathered by the Brotherhood of Makuta once more, and a strike team including Visorak (with a number of Suukorak among them), Exo-Toa, and Rahkshi was sent to invaded a former Brotherhood of Makuta fortress that was being held by the Dark Hunters. Although the Suukorak were beaten back by Reidak, who tore sections off of the fortress walls and threw them at the spider creatures, the whole team succeeded in 'liberating' the fortress.
Responding to the Heart of the Visorak, which was placed on the island of Artidax, all the Suukorak and other Visorak followed it there. Shortly afterwards, a volcanic eruption rigged by the Order of Mata Nui took place on the island. Because of the stone, the Visorak were unable to leave. As a result, all the Suukorak and the other Visorak species were killed and are assumed to be extinct.
Abilities and Traits
Like all Visorak, Suukorak had a Rhotuka Launcher that fired Rhotuka with the ability to create a field of electrical energy around a target that would slowly shrink – while the field was in effect, the target could not escape it, as the field moved with the target. Their Rhotuka also had the default paralyzation spinner power for immobilizing foes and prey possessed by all Visorak. Suukorak were natural tacticians, masters at knowing when to attack and when to withdraw. Suukorak also had the ability to slow their life processes down to almost nothing, appearing dead and making it extremely difficult for others to detect their presence. This assisted them in striking from cover, which was their preferred hunting tactic. Suukorak were naturally resistant to cold.
Set Information
Suukorak was released as a canister set in winter of 2004/2005 in Europe, and summer of 2005 in North America. It contained 48 pieces, including a Rhotuka and Rhotuka launcher. Pieces from the set could be combined with parts from the Boggarak set to make a Kahgarak, with both Boggarak and Roporak to build a Venom Flyer, and the other five Visorak sets to make the Zivon.
A mini Suukorak piece was released in all four playsets of 2005 (Tower of Toa, Battle of Metru Nui, Visorak Battle Ram, and the non-canon Visorak's Gate). The piece featured a blend of glow-in-the-dark and black plastic and mandibles distinct from the other mini Visorak pieces. It could clip to Visorak webbing pieces at a point between its mandibles.
