Golden-Skinned Being

"And who will deny me my feast?” asked Annona. “You, a pitiful amalgam of lesser races, bandits, thieves, and, yes, one thought dead, an experiment in desperation? You would stand against me?" "Yes, creature, I would stand against you."

- Annona and the Golden Skinned Being, Sahmad's Tale

The Golden Skinned Being was a twelve-foot-tall entity created by fusing a Zyglak, Vortixx, Steltian, the five remaining Piraka, and a green cloud into a tank of Energized Protodermis. It had very powerful muscles and green eyes. It is the current leader of a group of Skakdi and the enslaved Toa Mahri.

According to Jaller, the being's creation was probably one of Makuta Teridax's ideas that he planted in the minds of the Skakdi, since he was the only one who would know if the beings were meant to fuse.

Zakaz
On the island of Zakaz, the being was created by a group of Skakdi by throwing random members of species native to the Matoran Universe into a tank of Energized Protodermis. While none of the Skakdi were paying attention, a greenish cloud came out of the water nearby and entered the tank as well. The gold being later emerged and the Skakdi worshiped it. The Toa Mahri were about to engage it in combat when the Skakdi managed to gain control of their minds and force them to surrender, the Toa 'realizing' the Skakdi were the superior race.

Spherus Magna
The Golden-skinned Being, along with its slaves, left the Matoran Universe by somehow removing a section of the robot to live on Spherus Magna after Teridax was killed, where they (trailed by Kopaka) went to a beach. The being then created a huge fortress on a cliff after a conversation with some of the Skakdi.

An ancient being known as Annona soon arrived at the fortress, where she told the fusion that she wanted to feast on the dreams of the inhabitants. The golden being then challenged her.Then a battle began as four Toa Nuva and the Glatorian joined the fight. In the heat of battle, the Being's Fortress was heavly damaged,as Tahu headed for the Mahri. The Being called for more Skakdi as the Agori aided the herioc warriors. Meanwhile, in space, Pohatu,Kopaka,and Marvah get a disturbing message from Lewa inside the Red Star that Tahu was going to battle the Mahri. Kopaka hijacks the Star and flys it to Spherus Magna, the scene of the battle. Annona is embarrased as her fight with the Gold-skinnned being, and fought her way to it. Tahu then talks to the Mahri that they have to fight their slavery. Kongu then attacks Tahu and says that he will not win. Jallar then relizes that the Toa were trying to free them, and fights with Kongu. The entire team then gets it. Then Tahu, Annona, and the Mahri defeat the Being, as it abanded it's Fortress. then the Skakdi get fixed also, and thank the Toa and Glatorian from freeing them.

Weapons and Abilities
The Golden Being has been shown to have creation powers, since it instantly made a huge fortress. It is also shown that he has the power to remove things from existence, since this was done for it and its slaves to exit the Matoran Universe without damaging the robot. It is unknown if it has any weapons or tools. The being has no Kanohi.
