Stasis Tube

Stasis tubes where what Rahi where kept in at the Archives. After the Great Cataclysm, most of the tubes were smashed and the Rahi escaped. The tubes slowed down a being's life functions to almost none, keeping them alive, but in stasis.

Since the return to Metru Nui and the use of Staff of Artahka, the Stasis Tubes have been repaired and the Rahi will probably be recaptured.

Status tubes were also used on Destral by Makuta Tridax, to hold his army of Shadow Takanuvas.

A Status Tube was also used in The Shadowed One's throne room on Odina to hold a Toa.
