Product Description

The following is a product description taken directly from LEGO. View the source here
The power of the earth!
The Pahrak are the most unrelenting of the Bohrok, never giving up until their destructive work is done. Their shields have the power to set off earthquakes, and they can move massive boulders with their bare hands. No matter what the obstacle, Pahrak can reduce it to rubble! But if you remove their krana, the Pahrak can be tamed!

Set Information

The set packaging

The Pahrak set was released in winter 2002 as one of the six Bohrok sets. The set consists of 40 pieces.

A promotional comic was included with at least some copies of the set.

By combining pieces from Pahrak with 8561 Nuhvok and 8563 Tahnok, one can build a Bohrok Kaita using instructions provided at the end of the manuals for the three sets. Pahrak also has an alternate model, the Waikiru, which could be built using instructions published on the LEGO Club website.

The set was included in 65071 Lehvak + Pahrak, 65109 Bohrok 3-Pack 1, 65127 Bohrok 3-Pack 3, 65186 Bohrok 3-Pack 5, and K8563 Bohrok Swarm Kit.

Features

By pushing a button in Pahrak's back, its head will snap forward to attack. Doing this with the faceplate loose will also cause its krana to shoot forward. A rubber band causes its head to retract once the attack is over.

Pahrak can also be curled up into a ball. A piece included will clip onto Pahrak's lower back, and can be used to hang Pahrak from the lid of its canister when it is in its ball shape. The canister itself is modeled after an individual cell of the Bohrok Nests, and the hanging Pahrak represents the Bohrok's dormancy.

Collectibles

A green rubber krana, randomly chosen from one of the eight types, was included in the set.
