Ash Bear

"Yet another reason to hate the jungle!"

- Takua, Mask of Light

Ash Bears were large bear-like Rahi.

History
The Ash Bear species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the numerous Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

In Metru Nui, most were captured and placed in the Archives, although a few resided in the mountains of Po-Metru, sharing their territory with other large beasts such as Kikanalo.

After the Great Cataclysm, many of Metru Nui's Ash Bears fled to the island of Mata Nui above, though they later migrated back to the Matoran Universe.

They later migrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits
Ash Bears were at least two to three times larger than a Matoran, and were extremely powerful. They possessed large jaws and incredibly sharp, deadly claws, which could be used as effective weapons. They were, however, usually peaceful, unless their territory was threatened.
