Gorast

"I am Makuta Gorast, ruler of the Tren Krom Peninsula, conqueror of the Visorak horde, and you are Gali Nuva, Toa of raindrops."

- Gorast to Gali Mistika

Like all Makuta, Gorast once worked solely on creating new Rahi. Gorast was the ruler of the Tren Krom Peninsula, the Makuta that conquered the Visorak hordes, and was designated as "The Mistress of the Acid Falls."

Early Life
Not much is known about her past except that after the defeat of the League of Six Kingdoms, she traveled with Mutran to the territory of Kalmah. She and Bitil were the first to side with Teridax after he overthrew Miserix and revealed his Plan. On Teridax's order, Gorast and Icarax hunted down and killed all the Makuta who had initially sided with Miserix. She also at some point saved Vultraz secretly and told Mazeka to spread word of his "death". At some point and time, Gorast was said to have done battle with Tren Krom.

Swamp of Secrets
Gorast was later sent to Karda Nui to control Mata Nui's situation, and prevent the creation of any more Toa of Light by turning Av-Matoran into Shadow Matoran. She shape-shifted to blend in with the wildlife of the Swamp, but was mutated by the swamp waters to a point where she could not shape-shift back to her original form and lost several of her original powers. Plus, she then had to feed on the light of Rahi, until she found Gali in the swamp. She was about to drain Gali's light, but was ambushed by Onua who badly beat her. She, Krika and Bitil later battled the Toa at the Codrex and they fought the Toa until they were joined by the Phantoka from above.

The Final Battle
After Icarax tried to destroy the Codrex, she, Vamprah and Mutran attacked to allow Mata Nui to be awoken. After Krika sided with Icarax, Gorast killed them both with her Kanohi mask power. Unfortunately for her, she was unable to escape before the energy storms (made by the Toa Ignika sacrificing himself) restarted and she was killed.

"The Kingdom"
Gorast was absorbed by Teridax along with every other Makuta after Mata Nui died.

Brothers in Arms
Gorast, like the other Makuta, was created by the Great Beings. She and Icarax guarded the Great Beings' fortress on Spherus Magna.

Personality
"He was followed by Gorast, in her usual state of rage/psychosis."

- Mutran reminiscing about Gorast in The Mutran Chronicles Gorast was extremely violent and was very confident that the Plan would succeed. She went so far as to idolize Teridax for his cunning and intelligence.

Abilities and Traits
Like all of the Mistika Makuta, the Pit Mutagen in the swamp took away her access to half of the 42 Kraata powers while in Karda Nui, including the ability to shapeshift. She did keep her power scream, density control, chain lightning, sonic, heat vision, laser vision, magnetism, teleportation, telepathy and molecular disruption abilities. She also had to drain light from victims with her stinger to stay alive

Mask and weapons
Gorast wore the Kanohi Felnas, the Mask of Disruption, which she used to make a Toa or any other being's power go crazy and rebound on themselves. She could not however, disrupt a Kanohi mask's power nor disrupt more than one power at a time. She used the stinger on her mask to leech light from beings. She also had four clawed arms, insect-like wings, and a Nynrah Ghostblaster. She somewhat resembled a mosquito.
