Kraata-Kal is a Brotherhood of Makuta experiment turned Dark Hunter.

Biography

Kraata-Kal is the result of an experiment performed by Makuta Teridax, where he exposed a Kraata to the same substance that is used to transform krana into krana-kal. The result was a being of much higher intelligence than the average Kraata, with a wider array of powers. Teridax decided to construct a suit of armor for Kraata-Kal, which included a number of unique weapons.

Kraata-Kal was later loaned to the Dark Hunters by the Brotherhood, ultimately enjoying his work so much that he chose to defect. Because of this, Teridax didn't try to make more.

Kraata-Kal would routinely ignore mission objectives in pursuit of his own personal profit. As punishment for this habit, the Shadowed One once permitted Vezok to attack him and damage his armor. Kraata-Kal joined Amphibax and Sentrakh in tracking down the Piraka following their desertion of the organization. After the sinking of Voya Nui, however, the team returned to Odina, and later relocated to Xia at the order of the Shadowed One.

When the Matoran Universe was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Kraata-Kal immigrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits

Kraata-Kal has extremely high intelligence, and is very ambitious, but is also known to be very stubborn and rebellious. He has a degree of elemental control over Shadow, Water, and Fire, along with metallic protodermis armor larger and more durable than standard Rahkshi armor. He is also capable of speech. Much like the Bohrok-Kal, the nature of his transformation has resulted in his independence from his creator. In spite of the fact that Kraata are creatures of pure shadow, Kraata-Kal does possess a small amount of inner Light as a result of his mutation.

Tools

Kraata-Kal's armor is fitted with various blades, teeth, and claws it can use in close-range combat. He also wields both a double-bladed flame sword and a Launcher.

Trivia

• Kraata-Kal was created by Morgan Alfrejd, known as Makuta/nuva/kal on BZPower for the LEGO Magazine Dark Hunter Building Challenge, and was given a storyline role and place in the book BIONICLE: Dark Hunters, by Greg Farshtey.
• Kraata-Kal's image in BIONICLE: Dark Hunters is mirrored, as evidenced by the sides his tools attach on in the creator's original photos and the mirrored orientation of the spines on his back (Part 44142). Because no official publications feature an un-mirrored image of Kraata-Kal, the image in this article has been left mirrored.
