(For all intents and purposes, the creature and the set are one and the same. The movie model just happens to use bits and pieces not seen in the comic variety. Being general is, in this case, more accurate.) |

"The ground exploded. A massive crimson creature rose up on four great legs and let out an earsplitting roar. Mata Nui had never seen anything like it. It was at least forty feet tall, part animal and part machine. Its legs sported massive treads and ended in vicious claws. Sharp pincers extended from both sides of its jagged mouth. When it took a step, the earth shook."

The Skopio are a massive species of creature residing in Bara Magna.
History
The Great Beings tampered with the Skopio species, altering their physiology to make them biomechanical. The Iron Tribe praised and revered the Skopio, though this action was looked down upon by the other tribes, and was later attributed to causing the plague that wiped most of them out.
Many different attempts, from a variety of groups including the Skrall and Vorox, have been made to bring down a Skopio, though few have been successful.
As Mata Nui, Ackar, and Kiina were traveling to Tajun, a Skopio rose out of the sand and attacked them. Kiina attempted to drive past the Skopio in their Thornatus, but the creature knocked over their vehicle. The creature was drawn to Mata Nui, who was using himself as bait, and attacked him. Mata Nui managed to climb on top of the Skopio, and used its Thornax Launcher to take out several Bone Hunters. The Skopio knocked Mata Nui upward, onto a cliff. Mata Nui then caused a rockslide, which buried the Skopio.
Abilities and Traits
The Skopio are large, vicious creatures, and can easily grow up to thirty feet in height. They have thick, powerful shells, which are capable of enduring much damage. They are known to hide beneath the sands, and attack when they sense the vibrations of passing prey. Due to their size, there are rarely more than one in a thousand mile radius.
They are biomechanical as a result of the alteration of the Great Beings, and possess Thornax Launchers on their tails, fitted with a scope. They also have treads on their legs.
