[carve] History

The Tahnok Va, along with the other Bohrok Va, were created to assist the Bohrok in clearing Mata Nui, reverting it to its original status as a barren wasteland. Upon creation, the Va were placed in hibernation along with the other Bohrok, waiting for the time to be awakened to perform their duty. After Teridax was defeated by the Toa Mata, he unleashed the swarms to impede their progress. The Tahnok Va awoke, and began aiding the Tahnok in their attempts level the island, providing Krana to Tahnok that had lost them to the Toa.

Gali encountered a swarm of Tahnok with their Va companions while traversing the domain of Le-Wahi. Though she managed to incapacitate several, they eventually recovered with the help of the Va and continued on to Po-Wahi She followed them to Po-Koro, where they were fended off through the combined efforts of her, Pohatu, Onua and Kopaka. Kopaka later trailed another swarm of Tahnok and Tahnok Va to the slopes of Mount Ihu. He was about to leave to check on Tahu, but discovered a Tahnok Va wandering off. Following the creature, he was eventually led to the Bohrok Nest, where the creature was collecting more Krana to assist the swarm.

Following the defeat of the Bahrag, the Tahnok Va were rendered seemingly inert, no longer having any direction from the Bahrag. Once the Kal were released, however, the Va were quick to assist them, tricking the Toa Nuva into believing they were still siding with them until the last possible moment. Lewa Nuva encountered a Tahnok Va traveling through the jungle, but the creature lied to him, claiming nothing was wrong.

The Tahnok Va, and other Bohrok eventually recieved a signal that it was time to return to the nest. They returned to the nest and resumed their hibernation, eager for the Bahrag to be free. Once the Bohrok Kal failed to defeat the Toa Nuva and release the Bahrag, however, the Bohrok swarms remained dormant, sleeping inside the nests.

When the Bahrag were released by the Toa Nuva, the Tahnok Va awoke and contributed to cleanse the island of Mata Nui. They have since returned to their nest to sleep.
