Pahrak-Kal

"I will contain this power! I am Pahrak-Kal! I cannot be defeated!"

- Pahrak-Kal, Comic 12: Absolute Power

Pahrak-Kal was the slow-moving but powerful Bohrok-Kal of Plasma.

Early History
Pahrak-Kal was at one point an Av-Matoran. It later transformed into a Pahrak. It, at a later time, along with the rest of the Bohrok-Kal, was exposed to a mutagen substance, and was transformed by the substance. The transformation enabled Pahrak-Kal to think independently and speak, as well as granting it power over Plasma. It then went into a dormant sleep until it was awakened to free the Bahrag.

Mata Nui
Pahrak-Kal was summoned to free the Bahrag Sisters after they had been stopped by the Toa Mata. Pohatu Nuva's Nuva Symbol was stolen by Pahrak-Kal after it arrived in Po-Koro and superheated anything that got too close to it. The Toa Nuva later encountered the Bohrok-Kal in Po-Wahi, where the two groups began to fight. However, the Toa were easily overpowered by the Kal, and were knocked out.

Tahu later found Pahrak-Kal and began to fight it. During the fight, Jaller, the Captain of the Ta-Koro Guard, arrived, and, while Tahu was still fighting it, Jaller used the opportunity to steal the Bohrok-Kal's Krana-Kal. However, a Gahlok Va then showed up and replaced its Krana-Kal, and the two ran away.

It was Pahrak-Kal who discovered the Bahrag's underground prison, melted its entrance, and led the other Kal to it. Once inside, the Kal began to fight the Exo-Toa, that were guarding the Nuva Cube, and easily destroyed them. After the Toa Nuva entered the Bahrag's lair, Tahu tried to use the Kanohi Vahi against them, but it somewhat failed. the end, Pohatu Nuva's connection to his Nuva Symbol overloaded Pahrak-Kal, causing him to lose control of his powers and melt a hole in the ground under him.

Personality and Traits
Although this Bohrok-Kal seemed easy to evade, that was not so. Pahrak-Kal could plow through any obstacle on its way to its goal.

Powers and Equipment
Pahrak-Kal's tools were a pair of Plasma Shields, which it could channel its elemental Plasma abilities through. By using these, it could superheat any substance until it melted. This made Pahrak-Kal a fast and effective tunneler. The shield could also be used defensively, to turn any incoming missile or attack into a roiling mass of plasma. More terrifyingly, it could be used as an offensive weapon, to turn any obstacle into a molten mass.
