Ehlek

"We have a little problem reaching the mask - actually, a 300-foot long problem."

- Ehlek

Ehlek was the only member of the original Barraki alliance who was a native water-breather, from the Liquid Protodermis sea around the island of Zakaz. After the Great Cataclysm and escape from the Pit, he built a fortress for the Barraki, which was destroyed when Mahri Nui landed on top of it. Ehlek is angry, bitter, and hungry for revenge, almost willing to sacrifice the Mask of Life if it would mean exterminating all Matoran. Although slim and poorly armored, the spines on his back give off electric bolts that can stun or kill. He commands an army of venom eels. An interesting sidenote is that the Dark Hunter Amphibax was originally a member of Ehlek's army prior to Ehlek's exile to the Pit. Another interesting note is that Ehlek's species was tampered with by the Order of Mata Nui in an attempt to engineer a race specially designed to combat the Brotherhood of Makuta.
