Gahlok

"Catching a Gahlok is like trying to hold onto an eel with one wet hand. So think carefully before you interrupt their work."

- Turaga Nokama

Gahlok was a subspecies swarm caste of the Bohrok.

History
They led the invasion of Onu-Koro, forcing Matoran to evacuate. Nuparu, an inventor, first recognized that the Bohrok were machines during this attack and used a Kranaless Gahlok body to build Boxor machines to save Onu-Koro, and later, much of Mata-Nui. The Gahlok 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 they helped in cleansing the land of Mata Nui. They then returned to the nest to sleep.

Abilities and Traist
They could be described as slippery customers - you would never really know where your standing with them. Highly unpredictable, their perplexing methods rapidly changed if discovered. They never reacted the same way twice and never struck the same place twice.

Gahlok used the elemental power of Water, channeled through their Water Shields.
