Takutanuva was an extremely powerful fusion of Takanuva and Teridax created by the power of Energized Protodermis.

Biography

During the fight between Takanuva and Teridax, Takanuva struck a finishing blow against Teridax. The Makuta rose, and attempted to convince Takanuva that his cause was noble. Takanuva was undecieved, and launched himself at Teridax, removing his Kanohi. During the struggle, the pair fell into a pit of Energized Protodermis, fusing them together and creating the powerful entity known as Takutanuva. Once created, he proclaimed that Mata Nui must be awakened and proceeded to open the gate to Metru Nui. After all of Mata Nui's residents had passed under the gate, he revived the deceased Jaller with his own life energy, but the amount he exerted was too great and weakened him, causing him to drop the gate, crushing him. The gate's weight caused Takutanuva's mask to split back into the Avohkii and Kraahkan. The Avohkii was used to recreate Takanuva, and left Teridax on the other side of the gate with his armor shattered and his Antidermis floating around in Mangaia.

Abilities and Traits

Takutanuva possessed both Teridax's and Takanuva's powers. In addition to both their respective powers, Takutanuva has been shown to possess two other abilities:

• Resurrection: He was capable of resurrecting Jaller, something even the Ignika cannot do on its own (although Takutanuva was actually sacrificing some of his own life force).
• Immense strength: He was extremely powerful, being stronger than any Makuta or Nocturn, though not as strong as Tren Krom or Mata Nui. This was shown when he lifted a massive door so heavy, even Teridax himself couldn't lift it.

Takutanuva had an equal balance of light and dark energy, and so was able to see the world from a point of view free of bias.

Kanohi

Takutanuva wore the Mask of Light and Darkness, a mask that granted him the powers of both the Avohkii, the Mask of Light, and the Kraahkan, the Mask of Shadows.

Set Information

The Takutanuva set was a promotional set that included Teridax and Takanuva and came with a "Movie Edition" version of the Kraahkan. Takutanuva could also be constructed from separately packaged Teridax (simply called "Makuta" at the time) and Takanuva sets. His instructions were printed in Takanuva's instruction manual, following the instructions for the actual Takanuva and Ussanui set. One could spin an axle on Takutanuva's back to cause him to swing his upper torso from side to side, or spin a gear on his back to make him raise and lower his right and left arms in alternation. He also featured two blades on his back that could be raised or lowered.
