Not Rahi
After reading up on the Protocairns, it's occurred to me that they are not actually Rahi. That is, they are just transformed Matoran, and weren't created from viruses and liquid protodermis like Rahi are. That makes them more similar to the Zyglak, a race of aberrations which are considered Rahi but technically aren't. As such, I'm changing the page to list Protocairns as a sapient species (considering that they are specifically stated to be sapient). If you disagree, please comment below and we'll talk it out. --Angel Bob (talk) 05:40, 7 March 2017 (CET)
Origin
In Time Trap, Teridax says the following:
"Many centuries ago, a group of Matoran decided to grasp for greater power," the Dark One explained. "They exposed themselves to energized protodermis and became reptilian creatures called protocairns. They emerged from the sea just up there and destroyed the shoreline of Ga-Metru, including the Great Temple. Turaga Dume, the fool, had no idea what to do. Forturnately for the city, they died on their own. Their bodies merged together to form a new land mass, including the spit of dirt upon which the current Great Temple sits."
Would this be enough to say that the Protocairn are not just rumored to be transformed Matoran? ~ Wolk (talk) 08:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
