Makuta Spiriah Makuta Spiriah is a BIONICLE combiner model introduced in 2008 . The model was first shown in the January 2008 LEGO Magazine but its instructions were only available on BIONICLE . com . History . Spiriah was created by Mata Nui from a pool of liquid Antidermis on an island in the southern reaches of the Matoran Universe , shortly after its creation . He then became a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta , working on experiments with Rahi and creating breeds of them to populate the universe , though he lacked the skill to do so . During the meeting at the Convocation Chamber when Teridax revealed his plan and took control of the Brotherhood , Spiriah was one of the first Makuta to side with him . He , along with Krika , were ordered by Teridax as the new leader , to kill Miserix , but instead Krika imprisoned him on the island of Artidax . Spiriah knew of Krika ' s treachery , but never revealed it . Around 70 , 000 years ago , Spiriah saw the potential for a powerful army in the Skakdi , the native residents of Zakaz . Accordingly , he began tampering with them . At that time , the Brotherhood claimed that Spiriah was a rogue agent , and they were believed by all , though the Order of Mata Nui later suspected that Spiriah had been operating under the Brotherhood ' s orders all the time . Eventually , the Skakdi began exhibiting various new abilities , such as elemental and vision powers . Spiriah left Zakaz , intending to return at a later time and leaving a few Visorak spiders to monitor the island . In his absence , however , the Skakdi rose up , wiped out all the Visorak on Zakaz , and turned on each other . By the time Spiriah returned to check up on his experiment , the entire native population was at civil war . As a result of this mistake , Spiriah went into hiding , knowing that if he were to be caught , he would be executed by his fellow Makuta . Charge of Zakaz was handed over to Krika . Spiriah eventually underwent an evolution into a being of energy and armor , a change natural to the species . Order of Mata Nui . Spiriah was later captured by the Order of Mata Nui and forced to join a strike force led by Brutaka . Like most of the other members of the team , Spiriah went along not out of the goodness of his heart but for fear for his life . While the team stole a boat on the island of Stelt , Spiriah deduced that the team ' s mission was to locate and free Miserix . Hoping instead to take the group to Zakaz and exact revenge on the Skakdi for their role in his expulsion from the Brotherhood , he sent a message to a tribe of Zyglak , requesting their assistance in hijacking the ship . Spiriah ' s plans were revealed shortly after Brutaka informed the team of their goal , to Spiriah ' s feigned shock . At first , Spiriah ' s plot succeeded : the team was taken by surprise by the Zyglak fleet , Spiriah successfully seized command of the boat and piloted it to Zakaz , and Dark Hunter patrol ships were swiftly defeated by the Zyglak and Skakdi . However , Brutaka had a surprise of his own : since the team ' s departure from Stelt , he had gotten the Dark Hunter Lariska to follow the group secretly in case of emergency . Through her , he directed Ehlek ' s species to attack the Zyglak fleet , which quickly disintegrated . Taken by surprise , Spiriah was quickly knocked to the ground by Brutaka , who introduced Lariska to the team , reasserted himself as its leader , and bluffed Spiriah into not attempting any future tricks . After Brutaka had regained control of the ship , the group veered off - course to Tren Krom ' s Island where Brutaka would be giving them their weapons . On the way there , Spiriah was under close watch by all the other members . Spiriah was the only member of the group to not pick a weapon of his own ; instead , he was given a Midak Skyblaster from Brutaka . Shortly afterwards , he recognized the island from something Mutran once told him . When Tren Krom attacked the group , Spiriah attempted to escape the trap . He shapeshifted into a form with wings , but was struck down by a spear created from stone and was barely caught by Lariska . Afterwards , Spiriah and the rest of the team followed Brutaka into the cave he had been dragged into . Lariska revealed that the universe was in danger and , at Brutaka ' s request , Spiriah added that if the Makuta conquered it they would have the power to kill anyone , including Tren Krom himself . Enraged at the fate of the universe he helped create and in denial over the possibility of his death , Tren Krom then placed into the minds of the team nightmarish visions . He then killed Carapar after the Barraki had attempted to slay him , and hurled Brutaka at the rest of the team . Spiriah managed to catch him using his power of Magnetism , and then the team fled . Shortly after fleeing Tren Krom ' s island , the team arrived on the island of Artidax , Spiriah expressing his doubts about the rescue . Almost immediately after arriving , Spiriah was attacked by a hand of living sand . The hand almost pulled the Makuta underground before Roodaka used her mutation spinner to mutate the sand into a swarm of Fireflyers . After some encouragement from Brutaka , and being tricked into believing he could be the leader of the Brotherhood if they succeeded , Spiriah agreed to act as the team ' s guide of the island , as the traps had been created to guard against Makuta . He nearly walked into another trap that would have released boulders on top of the group , but was stopped by Vezon . After bypassing the trap , they entered a tunnel in the side of a mountain , and were trapped inside after Takadox cut the vine to trigger the trap , causing an avalanche that sealed them in . Spiriah freed himself from the rubble by using his Shadow powers , and afterwards led the way down the tunnel . Vezon pointed his attention to the floor , which was actually thousands of insect Rahi , which promptly rose and blocked the exits to the bridge they were standing on . Brutaka then ordered Spiriah to get them out of the way with his Rahi control power , but Spiriah attempted to bargain for his freedom in exchange , causing Brutaka to almost knock him off the bridge into a realm of light via his Olmak . Spiriah decided to use his power , but gave up in frustration because something more powerful was controlling them . Roodaka eventually got them through the cave and led the team towards the chamber Miserix was held . Death . As soon as Miserix spotted Spiriah , he commanded him to come forward . Miserix remembered Spiriah , and pointed out that he was one of the first to rebel against him . Spiriah attempted to convince Miserix that he and all of the Makuta wanted to free Miserix , but were not permitted to do so by Teridax . However , Miserix did not believe this , and absorbed Spiriah with his Shadow hand , killing him in the process . Abilities and Traits . Like all Makuta , Spiriah had access to Shadow powers and the forty - two Kraata powers . He also had the ability to create Kraata . Spiriah was arrogant like all Makuta , but for no apparent reason . He was not a leader and lacked skills in Rahi creation , and was simply a follower . Though he had desires to aspire to greatness , he simply could not . Mask and Tools . Spiriah wore the Kanohi Jutlin , the Great Mask of Corruption . He used a Midak Skyblaster as a weapon . He also had sharp claws and poisonous fangs .
