Rahkshi Variations

There are 42 variations of Rahkshi, and all Rahkshi progress through seven distinct levels of power. Each variation has different abilities associated with each level of power; all the abilities at and below the Rahkshi's current level are available to them. Rahkshi of the seventh level are called Shadow Kraata, and they can speak Matoran and infect masks from a distance in addition to being more powerful than they were at level 6.

Each variation is also associated with different colors, although the students of Corpus Rahkshi often change their armor from its default coloration.
