Burnak
Rahi
Known locations	Southern Continent (Voya Nui) (formerly) Spherus Magna
Pronunciation	BURR-nack

Burnak are tiger-like Rahi.

History

The Burnak species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

Many Burnak made their homes in the Voya Nui region of the Southern Continent. During the Great Cataclysm, this region was torn from the continent and rocketed to the surface of Aqua Magna, where the surviving Burnak lived for 1,000 years.

When the Toa Mahri destroyed the Cord and sent Voya Nui back to its place on the Southern Continent, its Burnak population may have not survived the descent.

After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Burnak emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.

Piruk's Burnak

During the 1,000 years after the Great Cataclysm, the Le-Matoran Piruk tamed a Desert Burnak, which became his pet. When Axonn shepherded Voya Nui's Matoran into the Nui Caves to weather the island's descent, Piruk brought the Burnak with him, and it survived the destruction of the Cord.

After the destruction of the Matoran Universe, Piruk's Burnak immigrated to Spherus Magna with the Matoran.
