The Zyglak are a reptilian species accidentally created by the Great Beings out of the remains of the process that brought the first Matoran to life.
[carve] History
The Great Beings were seeking to create intelligent organisms called Krana, but found that some of the material they exposed to Energized Protodermis turned into Rahi-like Zyglak rather than Krana. Shunned by their creators and hated and feared throughout the universe, the bitter, savage Zyglak retreated to the dark places (such as the ruins of the inner Pit and the underground recesses of Voya Nui). There they wait, brooding over their fate and hating the Matoran and all who honor Mata Nui. Those who encounter them rarely survive to tell others the tale.
A wandering tribe of Zyglak killed the other members of Toa Lesovikk's Toa Team.
The Toa Inika fought a group of Zyglak in the stone cord that connected Mahri Nui with Voya Nui. After a brief battle, Vezon, who had followed the Toa, was captured and carried off by the Zyglak. This tribe of Zyglak was later killed by the Piraka after they entered the Cord.
Nocturn, Kalmah, Takadox, and Mantax also encountered a group of Zyglak in the ruins of the old Pit. When the Zyglak pursued the Barraki, Takadox duped Nocturn into thinking that the creatures had insulted him. Enraged, Nocturn confronted and defeated this group of Zyglak.
Makuta Spiriah was an outcast much like the Zyglak, and made an alliance with them. While on Stelt, Spiriah sent a message to a tribe of Zyglak to intercept their ship as they sailed south. When they arrived, he used them as a threat when he mutinied against Brutaka. The armada that arrived accompanied the group to the island of Zakaz, and upon arriving sunk three Dark Hunter ships that were stationed nearby. Afterwards, they attempted to land and storm the island so Spiriah could finally get his revenge on the Skakdi. However, all of the Zyglak ships were ambushed and destroyed by the members of Ehlek's species.
[carve] The Kingdom
In "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension, Mata Nui died, resulting in many beings evacuating the Matoran Universe so they could survive on the island of Mata Nui. The Zyglak were not among them, as they refused to accept help from the Matoran. As a result, the Zyglak became extinct.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Zyglak are amphibious and intelligent. They can speak Matoran, and are one of the few beings that are immune to The Pit's mutagen. They also have strength greater than that of a Toa. In addition, Zyglak are virtually invulnerable to elemental attacks and they can spread an organic Protodermis-destroying disease through contact.
[carve] Tools
Many Zyglak have constructed spears and knives that can destroy objects on contact.
[carve] Set Information
The Zyglak can be built out of parts from Barraki sets Pridak, Kalmah, and Takadox. The model was created by LEGO employee and BZPower member Swiftone. This was the last combiner he made for the LEGO magazine, which included the instructions in the March-April 2007 issue of its Brickmaster edition.
