Brakas

The Brakas are monkey-like Rahi that roamed Metru Nui in the past, and now Mata Nui. They are known for being mischevious pests, and also for their distinct "kau kau" cry.

On Metru Nui
On Metru Nui, Brakas roamed the regions of Le-Metru and Ga-Metru freely. However, the Matoran found them to be such pests that they petitioned Turaga Dume to have all Brakas banned. So Vahki rounded up all of the Brakas and put them into the Archives in Onu-Metru. During the Great Cataclysm, when the Archives were shattered, the Brakas were free and headed to Mata Nui.

On Mata Nui
On Mata Nui, Brakas were typicaly found in Le-Wahi. They continued to be an annoyance, stealing fruit from the village storehouses. Turaga Matau's staff, the Kau Kau staff, was named for the cry of the Brakas.
