Fireflyer
"Left alone, the small insects were relatively harmless. But when a swarm was angered, they would pursue an enemy halfway across the city."

Fireflyers are small insectoid Rahi.
History
The Fireflyer species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis as one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.
In Metru Nui, swarms of Fireflyers could be found mainly in Ta-Metru.
When the Toa Metru were in the archives maintenance tunnels, the Rahi named Krahka used her mimicking powers to become a Rahkshi of Insect Control. She then attacked Nokama by using her powers to summon a swarm of Fireflyers to her aid, effectively defeating Nokama.
While on Artidax searching for Makuta Miserix, a group consisting of Brutaka, Roodaka, Barraki Takadox, Makuta Spiriah, Vezon, and Lariska encountered sands that attempted to suck Spiriah into their depths. Roodaka mutated these sands into Fireflyers, freeing the trapped Makuta.
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Fireflyers emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.
Abilities and Traits
Fireflyers travel in large swarms. They are harmless when unprovoked, but if disturbed, they can become aggressive and will chase their target for long distances. They are called Fireflyers because their bites cause so much pain that the victim feels as if they are on fire.
