Zyglak

The Zyglak are a reptilian race accidentally created by the Great Beings out of the remains of the process that brought the first Matoran villagers to life. The Great Beings were seeking to create intelligent orginisms called Krana, but found that some of the material they used turned into Zyglak instead. Shunned by their creators and hated and feared throughout the universe, the bitter, savage Zyglak retreated to the dark places (such as the ruins of the inner Pit, and the underground recesses of Voya Nui). There they wait, brooding over their fate and hating the Matoran and all who honor Mata Nui. Those who encounter them rarely survive to tell others the tale.

Zyglak are amphibious and intelligent. They can speak Matoran, and are one of the few beings that are immune to the Pit's mutagen. They also have stregnth greater than that of a Toa.

They also possess spears and knives that can destroy anything they hit when thrown.

The Toa Inika have fought a group of Zyglak in the stone cord that connects Mahri Nui with Voya Nui. Kalmah, Takadox, and Mantax have encountered a group of them in the ruins of the old Pit.

Trivia

 * Greg Farshtey, author of the Bionicle books, has confirmed that the Zyglak are not Rahi.
 * Greg has also stated the Zyglak crafted their spears and knives themselves.
 * It was a wandering tribe of Zyglak that killed all of the other members of Toa Lesovikk's Toa team. This encounter happened to be the first battle with the Zyglak in the universe.
