"In fiery Ta-Wahi, besieged by the frozen Kohrak, the tunnels of displaced Hoto firebugs have been creating sinkholes and causing hut collapses."
— Takua, Wall of History

Hoto are fiery insects that give off waves of Heat.

History

The Hoto species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.^[3]

Hoto bugs took up residence in Metru Nui, and the Ta-Wahi region of Mata Nui after the Great Cataclysm.^[2] After 1,000 years, some Hoto controlled by Teridax harassed the Av-Matoran Takua as he journeyed through Le-Wahi in search of Toa Stones.^[4] Hoto were later displaced by the prematurely-awakened Kohrak swarms, unintentionally causing destruction on the surface as they fled through tunnels.^[5] The Mata Nui population of Hoto eventually returned to Metru Nui with the Matoran.^[6]

After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Hoto emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.^[1]

Abilities and Traits

The bodies of Hoto can give off Heat intense enough to allow them to tunnel through rock and earth, and even some buildings.^[2]
