Kahgarak

"They come in different sizes and colors, but unfortunately, all have the same personality: foul. Iruini once suggested that we target the Kahgarak after a Zivon has been summoned and make it impossible for the Visorak to get rid of the monster. We rejected the idea since the Zivon would devastate everything in sight if let loose"

- Rahaga Pouks.

Kahgarak were the elites of the Visorak army, and were much larger than the other Visorak breeds. They were also the only breed of Visorak to sometimes have six legs. They often led smaller Kahgarak units on hunts, and also served as guards for the Coliseum and other important sites. Kahgarak spinners could cloak an opponent in a field of shadow which would move with them wherever they went. While the target could survive in the dark field, they cannot see or hear anything beyond it, nor were they able to communicate with anyone outside it. To an outsider, it would appear as if the Kahgarak's enemy had simply been swallowed by the shadows and disappeared. These shadow Rhotuka were also used to summon the Zivon, an immense Rahi, whom the Visorak used to defeat more frustrating enemies.

They ranged from 6 feet tall and 9 feet wide to 12 feet tall and 18 feet wide. When the Kahgarak and the other Visorak were summoned to the island of Artidax by Heart of the Visorak, they were killed by a volcanic eruption.

When Teridax took over the Matoran Universe, he recreated the breed along with the other Visorak. After his death, all Visorak became a feral race.

Trivia

 * The Kahgarak was sometimes called a "great Visorak". This was, however, false.
