Scarabax Beetle
From BIONICLEsector01
"There are many beasts out there. Not all are dangerous, though. The Scarabax, for instance, are small insect-like creatures that roam the desert. They are actually quite nice to have around."

History
During their night time foraging, a group of Scarabax approached the crash site of the Kanohi Ignika. When the mask rose out of the sand and began forming a body, most of the Scarabax scattered into the deserts. One remained behind, and approached Mata Nui as he adjusted to his new body.
This Scarabax, dubbed "Click" by Mata Nui later on, transformed into a shield when it touched Mata Nui's Kanohi Ignika. This shield saved Mata Nui when a Vorox attacked immediately after the transformation, and later helped during Mata Nui's battle with Tuma.
At the beginning of the Battle of Roxtus, a large number of Scarabax Beetles joined together to form a gigantic monstrosity that frightened Skrall and Bone Hunters alike, sending them running for cover. Not too long after, the monstrosity split apart into the many Scarabax that had formed it, and those Scarabax tunneled back underground.
When Click was being pursued by the transformed Metus, he called for help from other beetles. Just before Metus was about to eat Click, he was quickly surrounded by a large swarm of Scarabax, who ignored his pleas and launched him through the air.
Abilities and Traits
Scarabax beetles are nocturnal and scavenge in the sand each night for food. During the day they dwell in underground tunnels. They possess wings under their carapace, and can fly using them.
Some Agori claim to find their company enjoyable, but others believe they are pests. The Skrall in particular speak condescendingly of the beetles, comparing their enemies to them.
