Tuma

"You realize, if I find out you are lying … or even mistaken … your head will decorate the walls of Roxtus?"

- Tuma, to a Skrall

Tuma was a leader class Skrall and the leader of the Rock Tribe and the Skrall.

History
Tuma fought under the Element Lord of Rock's army in the Core War.

After the Core War, the Skrall, lead by Tuma, ended up in the northern parts of Bara Magna. After a long time, the Skrall were attacked by mysterious shapeshifters who were named Baterra by the Skrall, which meant "silent death" in an ancient language. After all members of the Leader Class, except Tuma, were killed off together with large parts of the Skrall army, the Skrall escaped to the southern part of Bara Magna. They took refuge in Roxtus, and joined the social system of the tribes.

Tuma became the ruthless leader of the Skrall. He demanded loyalty and obediance from those who would serve him. With ambitions to conquer Bara Magna, Tuma sent an army of Skrall to attack Arena Magna, plunging Bara Magna into chaos.

Later, he and Stronius set out to try to convince the Sisters of the Skrall to help defeat the Baterra. The female Skrall soon decided to kill them. However, Tuma managed to convince them to let him, and Stronius, go, in return of giving the Sisters of the Skrall information on the Great Being Angonce. On their way home, they reached some trees, which had not been there when they passed last time. They immediately suspected baterra, and Stronius went ahead to look closer. To their surprise, he discovered injuries on the roots of the trees, as if they had been placed there recently. To late, they realized that the trees were not baterra, but the stones behind them were.

He later fought against Mata Nui in Roxtus in a one-on-one fight, and lost because he had a weakness in the back of his armour. He also lost against the Glatorian defense force.

Tuma was released in 2009 as set 8991, and had 188 pieces.
