Lava Rats are small, rodent-like Rahi.

History

The Lava Rat species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

After the Great Cataclysm, a small population of Lava Rats migrated to Mata Nui, and took up residence in Ta-Wahi for 1,000 years. These Lava Rats migrated back to Metru Nui when the Toa Nuva unleashed the Bohrok on the island.

After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Lava Rats left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.
