Kalmah

"We shared our victories, and our punishment... so we will share the power of this mask as well."

- Kalmah

Kalmah was one of the six Barraki warlords that was banished to the Pit by Botar 80,000 years ago. Soon after being mutated by the Pit Mutagen, Kalmah discovered an organic species of Squid Rahi that fed on the life force of other creatures. He included theses Rahi into his army and later invented special launchers to turn the Squids into weapons.

He had three eyes after being mutated, but lost the middle eye in a confrontation with Pridak.

BIONICLE.com Description
"The silent killer ... stronger than he was fast, but was able to glide silently through the water and seize and squeeze prey to death in his tentacle. Five smaller tentacles on the back of his head let him sense motion behind him. Three eyes, but he was blind in one (his top eye) due to a disastrous past encounter with Pridak. Highly intelligent. Bred the sea Squid the Barraki used in their launchers, making sure they were kept half-starved and vicious so they were ready for prey. Led an army of giant Squid."

Kalmah got sent to the pit because he joined the rebellion against Mata-Nui and was banished to the pit with the other Barraki upon it´s failure. He designed the Squid Launcher for him and the other Barraki, in return for a large realm undersea. (A clash began over how much bigger Kalmah´s territory expanded.The battle was between him and Pridak and cost him the loss of his sight one of his eyes.

Powers and Tools
