Turahk are the Rahkshi of Fear. Turahk are created from Kraata-Za that are dipped into Energized Protodermis. A second Kraata-Za is then needed to run the Rahkshi armor that is created.

History

Mata Nui

When Makuta Teridax's initial strike force of three Rahkshi was defeated by Kopaka, Teridax unleashed an additional team of Rahkshi, one of which was a Turahk. The three Rahkshi surfaced at the center of Onu-Koro, and the Turahk promptly defeated Pohatu by using his own fears against him. The Turahk then came very near to capturing Takua before being stopped by Pohatu and Onua.

When the six Rahkshi cornered Kopaka, it was the Turahk that struck second, enveloping the Toa Nuva with his own fear of failure. However, Kopaka snapped out of the trance and flash-froze the Rahkshi.

Later, the Turahk, along with the other five Rahkshi, cornered Takua, Jaller, and Pewku in the Kini-Nui, only to encounter the Toa Nuva. While attempting to drain the energy of Lewa and Pohatu, the Rahkshi Vorahk accidentally struck the Turahk with its staff, draining its energy instead. As the Turahk was defeated, the Toa Nuva turned their attention to the other Rahkshi. None of the Toa noticed energy flowing back into Turahk and the Rahkshi heading for Takua and Jaller.

Throwing Pewku aside, Turahk trapped Takua in a wall of terror. The Rahkshi swung his staff at the helpless Matoran, only to be intercepted by Jaller, who was killed by the energy blast. Turahk was grabbed by Pohatu and Gali, but shook them off and came for Takua yet again, but Jaller's sacrifice allowed Takua to don the Avohkii and transform into Takanuva, freezing the Turahk in its tracks with Light energy. Turahk's and the other Rahkshi's armors were subsequently dismantled and used to make the Ussanui.

Karzahni

Roughly a month later, after the Matoran had returned to Metru Nui, Jaller (who had been brought back to life by Takutanuva) led a team of Matoran to the realm of Karzahni. There, in an effort to force Jaller to remove his Kanohi mask, Karzahni showed Jaller a vision of what would have happened if he had not sacrificed his life to save Takua.

Zone of Nightmares

Later, in the Zone of Nightmares under the island of Voya Nui, the Ignika created a Turahk out of Toa Inika Jaller's memories and fears. Remembering the damage suffered by the island of Mata Nui at the hands of the Rahkshi, Jaller overcame his fear of Turahk and attacked, only to accidentally kill the Kraata inside. The Turahk then turned into Tahu Nuva, struck down by Jaller. Regardless, Jaller rallied the Toa Inika onward, whereupon the "Toa Nuva" vanished and were revealed to be an illusion.

Abilities and Traits

Turahk usually rely on shadows and surprise, and are said to be able to appear and disappear at will. Turahk's power are particularly disturbing to the Toa Nuva, heroes who have rarely known fear.

Tools

Turahk carry Staffs of Fear, through which it can induce anything from slight unease to complete terror in their foes, depending on the power of the Kraata. A being struck by a Turahk's energies will either run in panic or remain rooted to the spot in sheer terror.

Turahk was released as a set in the summer of 2003. It contained 45 pieces, including a rubbery Kraata. It could be combined with the Kurahk and Lerahk sets to form the Rahkshi Kaita Za. Certain canister sets were packaged with a mini CD that explained the characters of Turahk and Takanuva.
