Trivia
- Greg Farshtey described the Kofo-Jaga as small and swarming because he based their description on the smaller scorpion, which according to him was meant to be featured as smaller Kofo-Jaga in The Legend of Mata Nui.[64] However, these smaller scorpions were also featured co-currently with the Kofo-Jaga in Quest for the Toa, where the game description only refers to them as "scorpions."[65]
