Users Toa Hagah

Status In use


The Toa Hagah Spears are specialized Toa Tools used by the Toa Hagah. The Hagah received them along with metallic armor as part of their elite status.[1] Like all Toa weapons, they could be used for melee combat and channeling their Toa's Elemental Powers, but each spear also had an additional power. The spears are able to tap into energies different from Toa's elemental powers, so that they do not need to expend as much of it for elemental effects.[2]

When the Hagah were mutated by Roodaka into the Rahaga, these tools were transformed into smaller staffs with different powers.[1][3][4] They were restored to their original forms when Roodaka reversed the mutations.[5][6]

Set Information

The Cyclone Spear and the Lava Spear were inlcuded in 8762 Toa Iruini and 8763 Toa Norik respectively as they were the only Toa Hagah released as sets in their Toa forms. Each spear consists of four pieces: a spearhead, two rods connected by the Toa's hand, and a connector to attach the spearhead to one rod.

The inspirational models for the Tidal Spear, the Sub-Zero Spear, the Avalanche Spear, and the Seismic Spears were built by Doni, SubParFauxPas, Kodiak, and TheUnderscoredDouble respectively. The former three were built similarly to the Cyclone Spear and the Lava Spear, each consisting of four pieces, while the Seismic Spear consists of ten.
