Nuhvok

Nuhvok were a subspecies swarm of the Bohrok.

History
Nuhvok were created by the Great Beings, basing them off of the Baterra. They could be created out of destined Av-Matoran who's life span had ended.

A Nuvohk was later exposed to a mutagenic substance used by the Bahrag, transforming it into Nuhvok-Kal.

Teridax later awakened the Bohrok early, after his defeat by the Toa Mata. After their awakening, a swarm of Nuhvok, along with a swarm of Lehvak, attacked Le-Koro, where they enslaved all its inhabitants. They were later freed.

The Nuhvok were put to sleep after the Toa Mata combined their powers to imprison the Bahrag.

They were later awakened by the Toa Nuva when they were doing a list of things Axonn gave them to do, and cleansed the land of Mata Nui. The Nuhvok then returned to the Bohrok Nest, where they remain until needed.

Abilities and Traits
The most solitary of the swarms, they wouldn't immediately defend themselves, but when they determine what is happening, they will strike out with their formidable hammer shields. If backed into a corner, they would strike out tenaciously until help arrived. They were at their most vulnerable in open spaces. Therefore, the best strategy for catching a Nuhvok was to lure it above ground away from its swarm.
