Rahaga / Toa Hagah The Rahaga are characters in the LEGO BIONICLE universe . There was once a team of heroic Toa called the Toa Hagah , who had been mutated into small , bestial beings . Undaunted , they became hunter - trappers , working to rescue Rahi wildlife from hordes of spider creatures called Visorak . Recently , they were returned to their original Toa Hagah forms . History . The beings known as Rahaga were once an elite team of Toa called the Toa Hagah . The Toa Hagah were charged with guarding Makuta , who had sworn to protect the Matoran people . However , Makuta had become corrupt , as did the Brotherhood that he was a member of , stealing the Avohkii Mask of Light from its makers and secretly enslaving Matoran . When the Toa Hagah discovered this and realized that the Brotherhood planned to oppose the good that the Mask of Light represented , they rebelled , stealing the mask back from one of their strongholds in the hope that it would be used against Makuta one day . However , four of the Toa Hagah - Gaaki , Bomonga , Pouks , and Kualus - were captured and mutated into small , Rahkshi - faced creatures by Makuta ' s subordinate Roodaka , who dubbed these new forms " Rahaga " . The reason for the name Rahaga is the cross between Rahkshi and Hagah . The name stuck . Norik and Iruini were able to rescue their friends , but they were mutated into Rahaga as well . As a result of this rebellion , the Brotherhood took action before their schemes could be exposed . Soon afterwards , the Rahaga decided to dedicate themselves to opposing the Brotherhood ' s armies of Visorak spiders , whom Roodaka was second - in - command of . In whatever lands the Visorak conquered , the Rahaga worked to rescue as much of the Rahi wildlife as possible from their clutches ; in this way they learned the ways of Rahi and became master trackers . They also began to search for Keetongu , a mythical Rahi said to be able to counteract any poison , including the Visorak ' s Hordika venom . In time , the Rahaga came to the city of Metru Nui , where Keetongu was said to be living . They hid the Mask of Light in the city , and themselves stayed hidden from the population , watching as Makuta put all of the city ' s Matoran to sleep and then became imprisoned by the Toa Metru . To their horror , they were also forced to watch as the Toa Metru left , leaving the city defenceless . Soon afterward , the Visorak arrived in Metru Nui . When the Toa Metru returned to the Visorak - controlled city , they were quickly captured and mutated by the Visorak ' s Hordika venom . The Rahaga then revealed themselves , saving the Toa from certain death , and offered their help in rescuing the Matoran and finding a cure for the mutation . Toa Vakama eventually gave himself over to the feral side that the mutation unleashed and attacked the Rahaga , delivering five of them over to the Visorak ' s king , Sidorak . Norik , who was left behind to " deliver a message " to the other Toa , used new information to lead the Toa to Keetongu . Keetongu offered his help in fighting off the hordes , and in the following battle Norik was able to free his fellow Rahaga . After helping the cured Toa Metru build airships to transport the Matoran to the island of Mata Nui , the Rahaga stayed on Metru Nui helping Turaga Dume to rebuild the city as much as they can . They also travelled from the city often , continuing to aid lands that the Visorak had previously conquered , as well as any others that required assistance . They were present to welcome the Matoran back to Metru Nui , one thousand years after they left . Recently , the Rahaga went to aid the land of Xia , which was being ravaged by the ongoing battle of two monstrous Rahi - even though Xia was the homeland of their archenemy Roodaka . They arrived to find Roodaka in the custody of their allies , the Toa Nuva , and the Nuva forced her to turn the Rahaga back into the Toa Hagah . The Hagah briefly kept watch over Roodaka , despite their mutual hatred , until she pressed into joining a suicide unit led by Brutaka and the Hagah were give charge of the Piraka Zaktan and sent to find and stop Makuta Teridax . This would lead to a brief clash between them and the Toa Mahri that was disrupted by a battle with a giant Rahi , and the two teams worked together to stop it and enable the Hagah to continue their pursuit . Sadly , after locating Teridax at the core processor of the universe - essentially Mata Nui ' s " brain " - with Makuta Miserix and other powerful beings , Teridax trapped them in an illusion in which they believed him to be defeated and left , and were thus blissfully unaware of his subsequent reign over the universe . The Toa Hagah were later freed from this illusion by the ancient being Tren Krom , and later evacuated the Matoran Universe after it was rendered uninhabitable . They soon joined their fellow Toa on Bara Magna and later took up a mission to check out the strange behavior of the Toa Mahri observed by Kopaka . During their time in Metru Nui , the Rahaga compiled a record of Rahi beasts which they had identified , describing specific traits and species - related histories , each accompanied by commentaries from one of the Rahaga . Their intent in this was to preserve information about the Rahi who might soon be rendered extinct by the Visorak . This work came to be entitled " Rahi Beasts " ( in real life , the " BIONICLE : Rahi Beasts " guidebook ) , and the Order of Mata Nui is known to have a copy ( or possibly the original ) in their libraries on Daxia . Rahaga . When Roodaka mutated the Toa Hagah , she gave them Rahkshi - like staffs and faces as a kind of sick joke , and to make sure they could never be heroes again , for no Matoran would accept such repulsive creatures into their society . She named them " Rahaga " , as a play on the words " Rahkshi " and " Hagah " . All have Rhotuka Launchers on their backs and staffs with special powers ; " " also portrayed them as having lights on their foreheads that they could use to light their way , but it is unknown if these are canonical . Whether the Rahaga have the ability to fly is up for debate . The only time in the storyline when this comes into play is when they catch the newly - mutated Toa Hordika in midair ; this scene in " Web of Shadows " showed the Rahaga flying using back - mounted helicopter blades , but this was declared non - canonical due to the fact that the toy sets have Rhotuka Launchers , not propellers . The movie ' s novelization is silent on the matter , while the same scene in an earlier book describes the Rahaga not as flying but rather as " moving by leaps and bounds " , " scaling walls " , and " swinging from loose vines " . Perhaps the best answer is that the Rahaga can fly by " hooking " their tools into the Rhotuka ' s magnetic field , allowing them to ride along ; as the Toa Hordika did near the end of " Web of Shadows " . Norik . Norik , the wise leader of his team , uses his fluid movements and soothing voice allow him to charm reptilian Rahi , such as furnace salamanders and other " crawling " creatures . He helped the Toa Hordika find Keetongu , whom Norik thought surely existed . When he is close enough , he uses his staff to distract the creatures until he is ready to trap them with his snare spinner , tangling the limbs of his target . Norik prefers to lead by doing , rather than talking , and appears to be utterly fearless . Gaaki . Gaaki is feisty , independent and at home in the water ; and she is always trying to prove she is just as a good a trapper as the other Rahaga . Unfortunately , this has a disadvantage , as she sometimes jumps into situations just to show she can handle them . She uses a staff that she uses as bait to entice swimming Rahi such as Makuta fish and Takea sharks , and then catches them using her floater spinners , sending them to the surface . Iruini . Iruini is a master of camouflage who searches for climbing Rahi among the tangled cables and chutes of Le - Metru . Agile and stealthy , he did not believe in the myth of Keetongu . Though he acts the least intelligent of all the Rahaga , he is patient and skillful , and uses his staff to hypnotize Rahi and his snag spinner to tangle their limbs . Iruini believes that there is much to learn from Rahi , including how to relax and play rather than being so serious all the time . Pouks . Pouks is loud and boisterous ; and he believes in plain speaking and taking direct action rather than sneaking around . Pouks is courageous and brave , and he feels he can challenge the largest land Rahi . His mode of attack is capturing the Rahi with his lasso spinners , then he uses his staff to leave an invisible mark so they can be tracked later . He truly loves the massive beasts and can teach others how to befriend them . He was the one who also swayed Krahka to side with the Toa Metru . Bomonga . Bomonga , also known as " Quiet - Night " , prefers to work alone , searching for those Rahi who are nocturnal or remain hidden . His staff allows him to detect the presence of Rahi , and his silent spinners can paralyze a Rahi with a touch . Bomonga searches for Rahi under cover of darkness and will sometimes burrow into the earth to wait for the creatures to come near , standing motionless for hours without making a sound . Kualus . Kualus is fiercely protective of all flying Rahi , and even speaks in their language at times , adding clicks and whistles to his sentences ; he also taught this language to Nuju . He uses his staff to summon flying creatures like Ice Bats and Gukko . He can also use his staff like a flute , sending a high - pitched signal warning Rahi of danger . His boomerang spinners can latch on to a flying Rahi and bring it to him . He even thinks that Gukko may even be an insult in their language , so he avoids calling them Gukko . Toa Hagah . Before their mutation , the Rahaga were an elite team of Toa appointed to guard the Matoran ' s protector , Makuta . As signs of their special status , they bore the title of " Toa Hagah " ( " Hagah " meaning " guardian " in the Matoran language ) . They wear metallic armor and Kanohi masks . The masks are carved to honor past heroes , and therefore their powers do not necessarily match their shapes . Norik ( 8763 Toa Norik ) was a Toa of Fire who wore silver armor . He mistakenly let his team get overconfident after rebelling against the Brotherhood of Makuta . This left him unprepared for the ambush , forcing him on a rescue mission to save his allies . He is equipped with slowness Rhotuka ; a Lava Spear that allows him to fire a stream of lava , melt an object , or solidify lava into rock ; and his Pehkui Mask of Diminishment , which lets him shrink to a minimum height of six inches while still maintaining his original level of strength . The Pehkui is carved in the shape of a Noble Kiril , but it is in honor of someone other than Turaga Dume ( who also wears a Noble Kiril ) . Iruini ( 8762 Toa Iruini ) was a Toa of Air who wore golden armor . He quit the team after they rebelled against the Brotherhood , believing they spent too much time on huge menaces and not enough on ever - present dangers . So he escaped the ambush that took most of his team and allied with Norik on a quest to save Gaaki , Pouks , Kualus and Bomonga from the Visorak . He is equipped with healing Rhotuka ; a Cyclone Spear that allows him to blow away hundreds of foes but drains a large amount of his energy ; and a Kualsi Mask of Quick Travel , which lets him teleport to any place within his sight . Iruini ' s mask power actually matches its shape , as it was carved to honor another Great Kualsi wearer . Gaaki , Pouks , Bomonga and Kualus were Toa of Water , Stone , Earth , and Ice , respectively ; no sets were ever produced of their Toa forms . Gaaki carried the Tidal Spear and wore the Mask of Clairvoyance , which forced her to see visions of the future ; Pouks carried the Avalanche Spear and wore the Mask of Emulation , which allowed him to analyze and copy one power from another being ; Bomonga carried the Seismic Spear and wore the Mask of Growth , which allowed him to grow up to sixty feet tall ; and Kualus carried the Sub - Zero Spear and wore the Mask of Rahi Control , which allowed him to exert control over any single Rahi at a time . Their Rhotuka Spinner powers remain unknown .
