Talk:Toa Hordika
Species?
Hey. I wanted to point out that "Toa Hordika" can possibly be classified as a species. The Toa Hordika to which this page refers chose to call themselves that, yes? But in reality, the term "Toa Hordika" can refer to any Toa that has been mutated by Hordika Venom. Savage's page calls him a Toa Hordika even though he never worked with the Toe Metru-turned-Hordika, though the page does mention him in the Trivia section. So can Toa Hordika be classified as a species? Should we divide this into two pages? Maybe "Toa Hordika (Toa Team)" and "Toa Hordika (Species)"? I'm not sure how I would feel about that, so I wanted to get some feedback before I brought it up on the AfC. I'll start working on a sandbox just for giggles, but I won't do anything with it just yet. What are your thoughts on this? --

- I started the Sandbox here, but it just seemed silly to me. I'm just gonna edit Savage's page, removing the part that says he's a "Toa Hordika." -- Speak to Me 00:19, 12 October 2015 (CEST)
- This debate was had a while back. Basically yeah, they could be considered a "species", but in general, the usage is only ever going to apply to the team, and it would muck up the classification otherwise. Has to do with the way the person wrote Savage's biography; he is a "Toa" and a "Hordika", but he is not a member of the Toa Hordika. -- Dorek Talk

- Thanks. I edited the first sentence Savage#Biography yesterday to clarify that. -- Speak to Me 08:00, 13 October 2015 (CEST)

- EDIT: Also, I see Master Inika also covered this pretty well in the trivia section. I think it'd be pretty hard to get confused about this now :P. Thank you both. -- Speak to Me 08:06, 13 October 2015 (CEST)

Turaga Hordika
This link says that the Toa Hordika could have become Turaga Hordika, but this one seems to contradict that. Does one take precedence, or do you think Greg is referring to the fact that a Toa Hordika cannot become a normal Turaga? -- Toa Jala Converse 17:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- There's also this second CwGF quote that leans towards no. To me, this seems more like a question on whether Toa Hordika still have access to their Toa Power to use or sacrifice, and apparently they don't outside of their Rhotuka (quote). Dag (talk) 02:49, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
