Element Lord of Jungle

"At first glance, Tarduk thought he might have been made of plants. He was tall and green, with thorns jutting out from his arms and legs and intertwined roots crisscrossing his chest. His eyes were an emerald so dark they were almost black. His arms were long, with thick vines wrapped around them, and more thorns served as his claws. Even his sword looked like it was a green and growing thing, though sharp and deadly."

- Narration, Riddle of the Great Beings

The Element Lord of Jungle was a former member of the Glatorian species and one of the seven Element Lords on Spherus Magna. He has mastery over the element of Plantlife.

History
The Element Lord of Jungle was created by the Great Beings over one hundred thousand years ago on Spherus Magna to lead one of the seven tribes. During the Core War to claim Energized Protodermis, he was leader of the Jungle Tribe's army. After the planet was destroyed in the Shattering, the Lord of Jungle became trapped on the desert planetoid of Bara Magna. However, he still fought against the other Element Lords, even after the war was over.

The Element Lord of Jungle later encountered the Agori Tarduk, Crotesius, and Kirbold in the Forest of Blades, during their pursuit of the secret of the Red Star, where he captured Tarduk and Crotesius. He released Tarduk, as they were of the same tribe, but decided to keep Crotesius. However, the Fire Agori was freed when Kirbold used a torch to light the forest on fire.

Once Mata Nui re-created Spherus Magna, the Lord of Jungle continued to live on the reformed planet.

Abilities and Traits
The Element Lord of Jungle possesses abilities involving creating and controlling plantlife.

Quotes
"It was only when he took a closer look that Tarduk began to have doubts. Perhaps this being was a living plant creature, or perhaps it was simply armor that made him seem that way. Regardless, Tarduk had no doubt who he was: the Element Lord of Jungle, Master of the Green."

- Narration, Riddle of the Great Beings

"Then I and five of my brothers were chosen by the Great Beings for the honor of leading the villages of Spherus Magna. We were changed by their power, made one with our elements, and given armor and weapons to defend our people. We were no longer like Agori, or anyone else. We became nature itself, as benevolent, giving, ruthless, and indifferent as that can mean."
