Amphibax

"Few outsiders could describe Amphibax, for few have ever seen him and lived."

- The Shadowed One on Amphibax, BIONICLE: Dark Hunters.

Amphibax was a soldier of Ehlek's army who became a Dark Hunter.

History
Amphibax once served in Ehlek's army during the reign of the League of Six Kingdoms 95,000 to 80,000 years ago. After the Barraki were captured and the League disassembled, he attempted a search for, and rescue, Ehlek only to lose his hand. He then became an undersea wanderer. He was later recruited into the Dark Hunters, "The Shadowed One" believing he was exiled from an undersea land.

Amphibax specialized in aquatic missions, attacks on Brotherhood of Makuta vessels, and raids on Matoran-inhabited island coastlines. Recently, he was assigned the mission of overseeing the events on Voya Nui concerning the rogue Piraka from the coast. He was not aware the Barraki were imprisoned in The Pit directly below him. He has since returned to Odina following Voya Nui's return to the Southern Continent. He and the rest of the Dark Hunters fled to Xia after Odina was overrun by Rahkshi.

After Teridax's death, him and the surviving Dark Hunters evacuated Xia and he is now living on Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits
Amphibax was calculating and intelligent, but was not opposed to actions of savagery. He used his reputation as a weapon, as rumors of his presence halted local sea traffic.

Amphibax wielded sharp claws on one hand and replaced his severed hand with a spiny whip. He was a skilled swimmer with the ability to survive at great depths without the need of air for a long interval of time. On land, he was adept at running and climbing trees. He also had heightened senses of hearing and sight.
