BIONICLE.com Description
"He is the great manipulator ... physically the least powerful of the Barraki, mentally one of the sharpest. Can sit motionless for days on end waiting for prey to make a wrong move, and then attack. Uses his power of hypnosis to make others do his bidding (and so rarely has to run the risk of executing his own plans), but when he tried to use his powers to take over a 300 feet long venom eel he gets smashed. Prior to the coming of the Mask of Life, rarely left his cave -- simply mesmerized Carapar into getting whatever he needed. Controls an army made up of underwater insect life."

Powers and Tools
Takadox possessed the ability to hypnotise other beings into doing his bidding (he hypnotised Carapar into getting anything he needed durring the thousand years before the Mask of Life appeared in the Pit). Though he had this power before being banished (giving him the most obedent army of all the Barraki during his time on land), it was greatly enhanced after Takadox was mutated.

Takadox was also bioluminesent, meaning he could give off a greenish-blue glow in low-light areas.

His weapons included Twin Daggers, as well as a Squid Launcher.

Army
Durring his time in the Pit, Takadox commanded an army of underwater insects. These insects had appeared in BIONICLE Legends.

Trivia

 * Like all the Barraki, Takadox was based on a real sea creature. Though it is unclear if he is based on a praying mantis rather then a mantis shrimp (though he seems to more closely resemble a mantis insect then a mantis shrimp).


 * Takadox has appeared in 2008 Federation of Fear story serials as part of a team consisting also of Brutaka, Vezon, Roodaka, Spiriah and Carapar, which will be searching for the original Brotherhood of Makuta leader, Miserix.


 * Mantax discovered Takadox as a traitor and told Toa Jaller, but was interrupted by Hydraxon.
