Piraka


 * The Piraka are a cruel gang of seven (now six) former Dark Hunters who have come to Voya Nui in search of the Ignika. They have taken the island from the Matoran and made the Matoran build structures for them and drain Mount Valmai’s lava. When the Piraka arrived, they fooled the Matoran into thinking they were Toa. They want the Mask of Life for fame and fortune.


 * Each Piraka has two powers. One is related to their eyes, and the other is a small amount of elemental power, but only if used in conjunction with another Piraka.


 * Each bears two weapons: their own, unique weapon, and a Zamor launcher, which launches antidermis-filled Zamor. The antidermis causes whoever is hit by it to become a follower of the Piraka. It is cured with energized protodermis. Garan stole a Zamor launcher and Velika used the launcher to build the Toa Inika each a larger one.


 * “Piraka” is not their species’ name. In fact, it is an obscenity in the Matoran language that means ‘thief and murderer’. The name they chose for themselves fits well. They have killed at least two Toa: a Toa of Plasma, who Zaktan killed, and a Toa of Sonics.
