Chirox

"This is a first - someone expecting a being born of the shadows to look on the bright side."

- Chirox to Antroz

Chirox was a Makuta, one of the five Makuta that invaded Karda Nui, the others being Antroz, Vamprah, Mutran and Icarax. He was skilled in mutation, along with Mutran. He thought little of Mutran's work however, complaining that his Rahi didn't have enough teeth nor enough intelligence.

The Invasion of Karda Nui
Chirox was one of the Makuta chosen to invade the Universe Core. When he arrived he was Weakened and blinded by the light of the Ignika as it revived Mata Nui. This forced him to turn the leader of the local Av-Matoran, Kirop, into a Shadow Matoran so he could see through Kirop's eyes and share his knowledge. However, his and the other Makuta's arrival in the Universe Core caused the Ignika to turn silver. If it were to turn black, it would drain life from all living beings in the Universe, killing them.

Mask and Tools
Chirox wore The Kanohi Shelek, Great Mask Of Silence. It allowed him to make someone deaf or mute for a while. He carried blades and a Tridax Pod. He can extend his arms for fierce battles.

Trivia
"Chirox, like Mutran, specializes in Rahi creation/mutation, and in fact thinks very little of Mutran's work, pointing out that the latter's Rahi never have enough teeth and aren't particularly intelligent."

 * Like Antroz and Vamprah, Chirox was blinded by the bright light caused by Matoro when he revived Mata Nui from death. Therefore, the 3 Makuta mutated Av-Matoran into Shadow Matoran to act as their "eyes".
 * It was Chirox who created the Lohrak and the Doom Viper.
