8974 Tarduk

8974 Tarduk is a 17 piece BIONICLE set released in January 2009. He is an Agori member of the jungle tribe. He's a strong and agile Agori with spikes on his shoulders and massive claws to survive in the hostile jungle, and to dig up artifacts. His helmet's three spikes are long, measuring as long as the body itself when already on Tarduk's head.
== Description ==
Tarduk uses old pieces, only having two new pieces: the head and the helmet. The new head is orange and translucent. The biggest difference from the other sets from 2001-2008 is that the helmet is attached to the top of the head and not by the mouth.
== Background ==
Tarduk walks on all fours, usually doing so most of the time. He uses his claws to dig up artifacts. Tarduk is an Agori from the planet of Bara Magna. In battle, he defends the jungle tribe's Glatorian, Gresh.
