Skakdi

Formerly a peaceful race living on the island of Zakaz, the Skakdi are now beastly creatures with a passion for war. The Piraka are Skakdi. They bear ugly faces with a mouth that always resembles a menacing smile, along with an organic spine that the creature known as a Spine Slugs often attach to.

Long ago, a Brotherhood of Makuta member arrived on Zakaz, and began experimenting on the race. They soon developed vision powers, elemental powers that could only be used if they worked together, in addition to other varied powers. The Brotherhood member left, leaving some Visorak to watch over things. However, the Skakdi quickly turned on each other, and the entire island fell into chaos. When the Brotherhood member returned, the entire population was at war. The Brotherhood placed Zakaz under quarantine, and no one was allowed on or off the island. The only beings known to risk a trip were the Dark Hunters, who saw their brutality useful.

The Skakdi are currently in war with each other on the island of Zakaz, the result of the Brotherhood member's plan and a dispute caused by Reidak.
