Velika

"When the Kanohi Dragon roars, do not look for the Stone Rat."

- Velika, BIONICLE Legends 1: Island of Doom

Velika was a Po-Matoran of Voya Nui. {{Spoiler|He is also a Great Being, having hidden himself in a Matoran body to observe his creations.

History
At one point, he was sent to the realm of Karzahni for repair. However, Karzahni the tyrant had rebuilt Velika improperly, leaving him smaller and misshapen. as compensation, he gave Velika a pair of Power Carvers and sent him, along with several other Matoran, away from his realm as a way of dismissing the memory of his failure.

The Matoran were sent to the Southern Continent. During the Great Cataclysm, Velika was among the Matoran on the landmass that shot out of the Matoran Universe and onto the surface of Aqua Magna above. The inhabitants later named the island Voya Nui.

The Matoran stole a Zamor Launcher from the Piraka and Velika used the design to create copies of it. Velika found a pool of Energized Protodermis and the Toa Inika used it to fill their Zamor Spheres, which they also received from Velika. They eventually found the Toa Nuva just after the final battle between Vezon and the Inika. Afterwards, Axonn gathered the Matoran and headed into the Nui Caves in order to survive Voya Nui's descent while theToa Mahri brought the Mahri Nui Matoran up The Cord. He and his friends then returned to the Southern Continent.

After the death of Makuta Teridax, Velika evacuated the Matoran Universe and escaped to Spherus Magna

The Kingdom
In "The Kingdom" alternate timeline, Velika became a Toa of Stone by Takanuva.

Powers & Tools

Characteristics
A master craftsman and inventor, Velika designed elaborate equipment for use by the Voya Nui Resistance Team.
