Kuma-Nui

The Kuma-Nui is a BIONICLE alternate model which first appeared in 2001. It can be built with the pieces of 8538 Muaka & Kane-Ra, the instructions were included in the instructions of this set.
== History ==
The Kuma-Nui species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.
On Metru Nui, Kuma-Nui lived in the Fikou Web, below the Archives, particularly below Ta-Metru and Ko-Metru.
Later, a small number of these Rahi migrated to Mata Nui, where they lived mainly around Ta-Wahi; since they were especially dangerous, Ta-Koro regularly dispatched patrols to keep them away from the Matoran. Many were enslaved by Makuta Teridax using Infected Kanohi.
Toa Mata Kopaka once battled with one, but when he knocked the mask off it, the Kuma-Nui fled.
== Abilities and Traits ==
Kuma-Nui appear to be just as ferocious as a Muaka or Kane-Ra, and at least the same size, with large claws and a massive mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. Like the two aforementioned Rahi, they have tread-like motor appendages instead of hind legs.
