The Toa Hagah are a group of elite Toa who once served the Brotherhood of Makuta, and in particular, Makuta Teridax.

[carve] History

[carve] Brotherhood of Makuta

The Toa Hagah were a group of Toa that were assembled into a team with the assignment to protect Makuta Teridax. They were selected by the Brotherhood of Makuta from pre-existing Toa teams based on the merit of their individual accomplishments, and were bestowed with metallic armor made of precious metals to differentiate them as elite Toa. As a badge of honor, they were given Kanohi in the shape of masks worn by previous heroes by the members of their former teams. When they discovered that the Brotherhood was enslaving Matoran and working with the Dark Hunters, the Toa Hagah rebelled, and fought bravely against Teridax and the rest of the Brotherhood, taking away victories such as the theft of the Mask of Light, which the Brotherhood had confiscated years ago from Artakha.

During that raid on Destral, when they stole the Mask of Light and the Makoki Stones, they also defeated Teridax. Unfortunately, Gaaki, Kualus, Pouks, and Bomonga were captured right after the raid and turned into Rahaga by Roodaka. Norik and Iruini did not initially share this fate because Norik was busy elsewhere, and Iruini had quit the team. Learning of their fellow Toa's capture, Norik and Iruini briefly joined forces again to rescue their allies, bringing the Avohkii along with them. The rescue was successful but ultimately resulted in their transformation into Rahaga as well. Roodaka told the nearby Visorak to let them be, for they were no longer a threat.

They were recently turned back into Toa by Roodaka at the command of the Toa Nuva, as a favor to the Toa Hagah. For a short time after, the Toa Hagah guarded Roodaka, though none-too-gently, given the mutual animosity between them. When Roodaka was taken by the Order of Mata Nui, the Toa Hagah's job changed to protecting the Vortixx of Xia from destruction caused by the ongoing Tahtorak and Kanohi Dragon conflict. They managed to subdue both Rahi before confronting a new problem: the Dark Hunters, who wished to destroy the island to prevent their enemies from receiving more weapons.

[carve] Hunt for Teridax

In response to the attack, Iruini quickly rushed to confront the oncoming fleet. Eventually, the rest of the Toa Hagah were teleported to the fleet, of which they learned of the existence of the Order of Mata Nui and its leader, Helryx. She then gave them a mission to track down Teridax and delivered Zaktan as a guide, of which most of them accepted. Gaaki, however did not, and stood shocked from a scene of the future she witnessed from her Mask of Clairvoyance, which showed them journeying into a "place of death" and that one of them will not come back.

The Toa Hagah later arrived on Metru Nui with help from Botar's replacement, where they encountered the Toa Mahri and told them they had come to destroy the Coliseum. In truth, they believed it necessary in order to pursue Teridax, who had slipped into hidden caverns deep beneath the city that the Toa Hagah couldn't access unless the Coliseum was out of the way. The Toa Mahri refused to let them accomplish this task, and the two teams of heroes engaged in a heated battle. During the course of this struggle, a monstrous Rahi beast was released from the Archives, and the Hagah and Mahri ceased fighting in order to subdue it. Together, they then lifted the Coliseum from its foundations and opened a tunnel into the underground, and the Toa Hagah then sealed it as they descended, refusing the Mahri's offer of help and allowing them to lower the Coliseum back into place.

The Hagah journeyed through the underground, passing a series of inscriptions along the way. Their presence triggered a trap, causing a surge of magnetism to pin them to the wall and a stream of molten protodermis to flow down the corridor.

[carve] Trivia

• Hagah means "Guardian" in the Matoran Language.
• The Toa Hagah had been active as Toa for some time before they were recruited into the team.
• The original Toa teams of the Toa Hagah did not all originate from the same location.

• In Dark Mirror, the concept of the Toa Hagah never existed, and so the Toa never received the metallic armor to differentiate them as elite.
• All the Hagah's staffs have limited powers of their own.
• The other Makuta also had Toa teams like the Hagah for their protection, but after Norik and his teammates' rebellion, most of them were eliminated to prevent them from taking similar action.
