Makuta (Species)

Makuta is the main villian of Bionicle.

Early Days
Makuta is a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta. At the Brotherhood of Makuta Base, he had Roodaka, Sidorak, the Toa Hagah, even some Exo-Toa as gaurds. The Brotherhood had an artifact: the Kanohi Avohkii, the Mask of Light.

One day, the Hagah decided to try and steal the mask. Somehow, Nidhiki and Krekka got caught up in all of this. Norik and Iruni found a Votarahk, and Norik told that Visorak to lead them to a safe place, or else he would become fried.

Norik and Iruni stole the mask, but Roodaka used her Rhotuka to transform the Toa into Rahaga. Sidorak took all the credit for this idea, so Makuta gave him command of the Visorak.

Makuta tinkered with ways to seize control of Metru Nui. One was a plant named Karzahni. But Karzahni proved to be too intellegent, it would be considered a threat.So he tried again,calling it Morbuzahk,this time he got it right.

Metru Nui
Makuta eventually seized Turaga Dume, unmasked him, and put him into a Matoran Pod. He then shapeshifted into the form of Dume, and took control of Metru Nui. He then unleashed the Morbuzak. To insure things went according to plan, he enlisted Nidhiki and Krekka again. This time, Nidhiki was out to kill his old adversary: Lhikan.Lhikan was going to choose six matoran into toa,but Makuta then made him change his mind by making him pick six false matoran opposite from Mata Nui's prophesies.Mata Nui had actually faked the legends,he knew Makuta would try and decieve Lhikan,so he made the matoran Lhikan picked the prophesiezed matoran.Later after the Morbuzahk was defeated he confronted the Toa Metru and he was sealed in protodermis.While the toa escaped he used a telepathic call to Roodaka and Sidorak to bring thier Visorak to Metru Nui.Later when the Hordika confronted Roodaka,she had taken a shard of Makuta's protodermis shell.It absorbed all six Toa Energies so it exploded.That made Makuta's shell shatter as well.Later the toa left but Vakama stayed behind to retrieve the Vahi mask of time that had fallen in the sea.After many battles with Keetongu,Vakama,The Shadowed One,Sentrahk and Voporak,Vakama finally left with the mask of time to Mata Nui,with a promise from Makuta he would leave everyone on Mata Nui one year of peace.

He also recovered Ahkmou and helped him want to get revenge on everyone on Mata Nui also.

Voya Nui
On Voya nui, Makuta was disguised as the antidermis within the Zamor Spheres used by the Piraka.
