Savage

"When I had him in hand and learned from my spies what had happened to him, I convinced him that the others on his team had been jealous. They had allowed him to be trapped and turned into a beast. In his maddened state, he was ready to believe friends were enemies – and I had a new Dark Hunter."

"Savage" is a powerful Dark Hunter, mutated by Hordika Venom.

Biography

Savage was once a Toa of Earth who was caught and mutated by the Visorak into a bestial, Toa-Rahi hybrid, much like the Toa Hordika. He later managed to free himself and returned to his comrades, though none of them could recognize him. Shocked by his appearance, they attacked him, believing him to be a monster. His transformation accelerated, and he finally lost control, badly injuring his friends.

The Shadowed One later convinced Savage to become a Dark Hunter, telling him his former teammates had been jealous and had allowed him to be mutated.

Shortly before Mata Nui's Reawakening, he was incapacitated due to another fit of rage brought on by his mutation, and was confined in his cell in the Dark Hunters' fortress.

After the Matoran Universe was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Savage was brought onto Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits

Due to his animalistic mutation, Savage frequently gets Rahi-like urges and is seized by madness. When this occurs, he is locked in a specialized cell so as to prevent damage to himself, others, or the building. The damage that Savage does to his containment cell is taken out of his pay.

Savage's Rhotuka can paralyze his opponents, and his tracking abilities are comparable to that of an Energy Hound, being able to track a mote of dust across a desert. His Earth powers are undiminished from his time as a Toa, but he has less mental ability with which to control them.

Mask and Tools

Savage wore a Great Kanohi Ruru, Mask of Night Vision, as a Toa. When he transformed into a Toa Hordika, the mask fused to his face and he became unable to access its power.

As a Hordika, Savage carries a Tri-Claw that can liquefy solid matter. He also developed a natural Rhotuka Launcher.

Trivia
