"Kratana" are mysterious Rahi that have the power to see into the future and the past.

History

The "Kratana" species was created by the Order of Mata Nui. Toa Helryx used a "Kratana" to record the adventures of the Toa Mata during their time on Daxia and in Karda Nui in the earliest days of the Matoran Universe.

Approximately 1,001 years ago, a "Kratana" attached itself to Toa Metru Onewa in Mangaia and gave him a vision of the Visorak. This "Kratana" was incinerated by Vakama. A few months later, a "Kratana" attacked Vakama in Teridax's Po-Metru Lair and gave him a vision of Krakua. It was then pulled off of Vakama's face by Teridax.

1,001 years later, Helryx gave Takanuva the "Kratana" used to record the Toa Mata so that he could see their past and the dangers which they would face when they reawakened Mata Nui's body.

After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, all surviving "Kratana" emigrated from the Matoran Universe and onto Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits

A "Kratana" resembles a cross between a krana and a Kraata. It has a long body and detailed ridge marks along its body like a Kraata, and affixes itself to a being's face much like a krana does, although it can still attach itself even if the target is still wearing a mask. It can also move incredibly quickly. The "Kratana" has the natural ability to give others visions of the future and the past, which it does once it has attached to their face or mask.

Quotes

"I don't know. Those were not my words, not my thoughts. I remember.... something.... something horrible, everywhere.... stealers of life....but I cannot see more."
— Onewa to the other Toa Metru, Maze of Shadows
