Swamp Stalkers are reptilian Rahi.

History

The Swamp Stalker species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[2]

Many Swamp Stalkers lived on the Southern Continent. As such, many were carried to the Swamp of Secrets by the Giant Waterfall when the Great Cataclysm caused Voya Nui to rocket upwards to the surface of Aqua Magna. Exposed to the mutagenic waters of the swamp, the Rahi grew to a gigantic size and developed armor plating, and resided in the swamp for 1,001 years. These specimens did not survive the Energy Storms.[3]

After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Swamp Stalkers left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[1]

Abilities and Traits

The Swamp Stalkers possess powerful jaws, which they use as their primary weapons.

In Karda Nui, Swamp Stalkers were mutated to be much larger and had strong armor. The Rahi would typically lurk beneath the waters or in the mud of islets, waiting for prey to pass by before attacking.

Set Information

A Swamp Stalker was comprised of parts from 8694 Krika, 8695 Gorast, and 8696 Bitil. Instructions for the Rahi are available on the LEGO Club webpage.
