Bitil

Bitil, along with Krika and Gorast, was one of the Makuta that invaded the Swamp of Secrets.

History
Not much is known about his past. Bitil and Gorast were the first to side with Teridax when he took over the Brotherhood of Makuta from Miserix. In The Mutran Chronicles Bitil was the first to notice that every Makuta had evolved. Later, Bitil was one of the Makuta assigned to invade the Swamp of Secrets. He was assigned to the swamp with Krika and Gorast, where he shape-shifted into his current form to blend in with the local Rahi, but was mutated by the Swamp waters, so he could no longer shape-shift and was locked in his current form, and lost a lot of his other abilities. He found Onua in battle with a Nui Kopen and attacked from behind, and shot him with his Nynrah Ghostblaster. He forced Onua to come with him to Krika's camp, but Onua caused an explosion of mud and escaped. Bitil and Gorast later followed Onua and Gali to the Codrex where they united with Krika and the Phantoka Makuta for the final battle against the Toa Nuva.

Abilities and traits
Most of the 42 Kraata/Rahkshi powers. Like Krika and Gorast, the Pit Mutagen took away his access to most if not all of the 42 Kraata powers, including his shapeshifting abilities. This means he is currently stuck in his insectoid form, maybe forever. but this form came from a mutation, not a shapeshift.

Personality
Bitil, although he went along with Teridax's Plan, was not so devoted to it, unlike Gorast. He was more concerned with his advancement in the Brotherhood of Makuta, and thought if Krika or Antroz died, he could take their position.

Mask and weapons
Bitil has twin Longswords, and wears the Kanohi Mohtrek Mask of Time Duplication, which means he can recall any duplicates of himself from the past to aid him in battle, but when they return to their own time, they won't remember if they were in the future. He also has retractable wings, though bulkier than Gorast's, and a Nynrah Ghostblaster.
