The set form of the Climbing Claws

The Climbing Claws,[1] also known as the Kodan Climbing Claws,[2] were Toa Nuva Pohatu's Toa Tools. He commonly used them to climb the canyons in Po-Wahi. The Claws could also be used as handcuffs, and could combine to form the Kodan Ball, which Pohatu could kick with his Feet Additions. He had extremely accurate aim with throwing the Claws.

When Pohatu received his Adaptive Armor, the Climbing Claws were replaced with his new Twin Propellers.

Kodan Ball

The Kodan Ball[2] was a Toa Tool that could be formed by combining Pohatu's Climbing Claws. It was named after the Po-Matoran Kodan, Metru Nui's former Chronicler, at the suggestion of Turaga Onewa because its shape and size resembled the sphere used in the earliest version of Akilini.[3]

Example Usage

In Mask of Light, Pohatu threw the Climbing Claws to pin Turahk's hands to a stone column.

Set Information

The Climbing Claws were released in the 8568 Pohatu Nuva set of 2002. They could be joined together to make the Kodan Ball using two pins on the set's arms. The ball served as a projectile to be kicked using the set's action feature.
