Tahnok-Kal

"You are too late. We already found the Bahrag."

- Tahnok-Kal's Krana-Kal to Onua and Pohatu.

Tahnok-Kal was the leader of the Bohrok-Kal squad.

Early Life
Tahnok-Kal was at one point an Av-Matoran, and later transformed into a Tahnok. It was later exposed to Energized Protodermis, and the substance transformed it yet again, this time into a Bohrok-Kal. As a Bohrok-Kal, Tahnok-Kal was able to function without a Krana and think independently. It later wint into a hibernation state until it could be called upon to complete its destiny of freeing the Bahrag Sisters.

Mata Nui
The Bohrok-Kal were summoned shortly after the Toa Mata imprisoned the Bahrag on the island of Mata Nui. It was Tahnok-Kal who suggested that the squad steal the Nuva Symbols. As the Bohrok-Kal came incredibly close to completing their mission, Tahu Nuva's connection to his Symbol caused Tahnok-Kal to overload with the amount of power that coursed through it, which ran wild and electrically fused his moving parts together.

Traits & Abilities
Fast and powerful, Tahnok-Kal usually acted as the leader of the Bohrok-Kal squad. Its reflexes are incredibly swift, making him appear short-tempered to those who see him in action. Some have said that Tahnok-Kal is truly as fast as the lightning he controls. Tahnok-Kal controls the forces of electricity via his power shield. The shield can use energy for defense, create cages of electricity, or fire lightning bolts at an opponent.
