The Skull Warriors were skeletons animated by Kulta to serve as soldiers in the Skull Army. After his defeat, they went rogue.
History
The army of Skull Warriors were created by Kulta's dark powers.[1]
Upon entering the City of the Mask Makers, Tahu accidentally set off a trap that sealed the Toa in the city. Skull Warriors then emerged from the ground to attack the Toa, while another group of Warriors shot at them from above. Onua used his Earthquake Hammer to defeat the ones that came from the ground, but also collapsed the bridge that they took in, leaving them open for the Skull Warriors up above to keep shooting. Lewa returned from scouting and knocked the Skull Warriors from the wall onto the ground, where they were easily dispatched by the Toa.[2]
The Protectors and Harvali found the remains of these Skull Warriors after entering the city themselves, and were forced to engage another group with help from a giant serpent. They successfully defeated them before moving on to meet Ekimu and the Toa.[3]
After the Okotans had reclaimed the city, several remaining Skull Warriors attacked. They were initially dismissed, until a force of Skull Spiders started mind controlling the Skull Warriors. Using their new masks and weapons, the Toa swiftly defeated the villains before starting their quest to find the Elemental Creatures.
Several Skull Warriors also appeared among Makuta's minions in the Shadow Realm.[4]
Abilities and Traits
The Skull Warriors had the ability to extract elemental power from Masks of Power by wearing them. They were individually weak, but could be dangerous in numbers.[1]
Mask and Tools
The Skull Warriors wore Skull Masks.
The Skull Warriors carried Freeze Bow Rapid Shooters, which could fire frost pellets that freeze enemies in place. In melee combat, the Skull Warriors used their heavy Ice Spears.[1] Some Skull Warriors carried swords and shields.[3]
Quotes
"With their leader gone, they are no real threat, unless..."

| |||||
70791 Skull Warrior was released as one of the sets in the August 2015 product wave. It came with a "drained" version of Kopaka's Golden Mask of Ice that had no role in the storyline. The Skull Warrior could be combined with the 70793 Skull Basher and 70792 Skull Slicer sets to create a larger model.
Trivia
- A YouTube listing for the Skull Warriors' character spot video mistakenly calls them "Skull Fighters," though the video itself uses the correct name of Warriors.[5]
