Artakha Bull

""It's a smart creature. Catching it means you have to be even smarter. The fact that so many are still running around loose in Metru Nui tells you I'm not smarter...yet.""

- Bomonga The Artakha Bull was a swift, strong, and aggressive herbivorous minotaur Rahi species that attacked with their sharp horns and was generally hostile. They were said to be more intelligent than the average Matoran and were good at tracking. They were one of the first Matoran-discovered Rahi, the records in the Archives dating back to over 2000 years before the 2005 storyline took place. Legend had it that they were the only Rahi allowed into the realm of Artakha, the Great Refuge, which is how the species got its name. They lived in Le-Metru on Metru Nui, but they were never seen on Mata Nui. The Artakha bull was believed to be what inspired the rumor about a mutant Kane-Ra that guarded a tunnel network.
