Takadox

"Poor Toa. Today, they're heroes. Tomorrow, food for the fish."

- Takadox

During his time in The Pit, Takadox killed the jailer (though Hydraxon has since been "revived" by the Ignika transforming a Matoran named Dekar) He has claimed to be present at the original defeat of the Kanohi Dragon.

Takadox also sold out the League of the Six Kingdoms to the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Takadox later became part of the team consisting also of Brutaka, Vezon, Roodaka, Spiriah and Carapar, which searched for the original Brotherhood of Makuta leader, Miserix. How he was able to go onto land during this time is unknown, because before that event he was stuck in the waters of the Pit. After Carapar was killed by an entity called Tren Krom, Takadox began acting strangely, and eventually while the team was entering a tunnel on Artidax, Takadox intentionally activated a booby-trap, sealing the team (minus himself) in the tunnel. What Takadox's motives were in doing this are currently unknown, along with where he might have went after trapping his team.

BIONICLE.com Description
"He is the great manipulator ... physically the least powerful of the Barraki, mentally one of the sharpest. Can sit motionless for days on end waiting for prey to make a wrong move, and then attack. Uses his power of hypnosis to make others do his bidding (and so rarely has to run the risk of executing his own plans), but when he tried to use his powers to take over a 300 feet long venom eel he gets smashed. Prior to the coming of the Mask of Life, rarely left his cave -- simply mesmerized Carapar into getting whatever he needed. Controls an army made up of underwater insect life."

Powers and Tools
Takadox possessed the ability to hypnotise other beings into doing his bidding (he hypnotised Carapar into getting anything he needed during the thousand years before the Mask of Life appeared in the Pit). Though he had this power before being banished (giving him the most obedient army of all the Barraki during his time on land), it was greatly enhanced after Takadox was mutated.

Takadox was also bioluminesent, meaning he could give off a greenish-blue glow in low-light areas.

His weapons included Twin Daggers, as well as a Squid Launcher. The Order of Mata Nui took these weapons and gave him a long thin blade.

Army
Durring his time in the Pit, Takadox commanded an army of underwater insects. These insects had appeared in BIONICLE Legends.
