Triglax is a shapeshifting Dark Hunter.

Biography

Triglax joined the Dark Hunters more than 7,000 years and several centuries ago, serving faithfully under the employ of the Shadowed One.

More than 7,000 years ago, Triglax was part of an operation with Lurker and Gatherer on the Northern Continent to kidnap Toa Varian, as the Shadowed One desired to capture a Toa of Psionics as a trophy. Using his shapeshifting power, Triglax replaced and masqueraded as a local Toa of Sonics in order to gain the trust of Varian and her companion, Toa Norik. Using the codename "Grey", Triglax led them to the site of the region's missing Toa, where Lurker and Gatherer ambushed them. Triglax pretended to be kidnapped, and the other two Toa gave chase. Lurker and Gatherer defeated the Toa, and they were brought to Odina. The Shadowed One forced Varian to choose whether Norik or "Grey" would go free; Varian chose Norik, who was returned to the Northern Continent. The Shadowed One and Triglax then revealed their treachery, and the horrified Varian was placed in in stasis.

About 3,500 years ago, Triglax, Gladiator, and Devastator were sent to Metru Nui to steal the Nui Stone from Toa Mangai Tuyet. Triglax fought alongside Gladiator in a battle against Toa Mangai Lhikan, using his powers to transform into a one-eyed yellow Rahi. However, both he and Gladiator were defeated.

1,001 years ago, Triglax was assigned to retrieve three pieces of equipment for the Shadowed One. Triglax returned two and kept one, but the Shadowed One discovered his treachery. The shapeshifting Hunter was severely punished for his transgressions by Lariska, and later returned to active service.

After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Triglax left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits

Triglax is somewhat unreliable, as he has a tendency to take objects for himself that he was sent to retrieve. He has also been described as obnoxious.

Triglax has the power of shapeshifting, as demonstrated when he changed into the form of Keetongu during his expedition to retrieve the Nui Stone.

Tools

During his mission to capture Varian, Triglax wielded the Toa tool of the Toa of Sonics the Dark Hunters had killed and he impersonated.

Forms

As a shapeshifter, Triglax has taken many different forms throughout his life. His known forms are listed below:

Picture	Form	Description
	"Grey"	Triglax assumed the form of a Toa of Sonics at least 7,000 years ago to deceive and mislead Varian and Norik, resulting in their capture by the Dark Hunters.
	Keetongu	Triglax used this form 3,500 years ago during his battle with Toa Mangai Lhikan.

Trivia

• The guide book BIONICLE: Dark Hunters was mistakenly printed with Keetongu on the cover, despite no apparent relation between the subjects; this was later referenced in the story by Triglax shapeshifting to resemble Keetongu during The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet.
