Comic 5: To Trap a Tahnok

"For seven suns, the Bohrok have brought chaos to Mata Nui. Like a thunderstorm they strike, only to disappear again. Now the Tahnok have come to the domain of Pohatu--turning mountain ranges to molten magma. They move swiftly, certain that nothing can stop them. For nothing ever has."

- Narration

To Trap a Tahnok was the fifth issue of the original BIONICLE comic series and the second part of The Bohrok Saga sub-series. It was mailed with the March/April 2002 edition of LEGO Mania Magazine.

Opening
''The Bohrok have appeared all over the island of Mata Nui, bringing chaos in their wake. While the Matoran see to the defenses of their villages, the Toa begin their quest to obtain the krana of the Bohrok.''

''The swarms are fierce and powerful, and the Toa soon learn that might is not the answer to this crisis. It will take all their wisdom, cunning, and skill to trap the Bohrok long enough to obtain the krana--the key ultimate defeat of the swarms.''

Even as the Toa struggle to solve the mystery of the Bohrok, they face another, more sinister riddle: the disappearance of Lewa, Toa of Air!

Quotes
"Other creatures might flee from the might of the Toa and seek a safer site on Mata Nui. The Tahnok are not other creatures."

- Narration

"Mata Nui faces perhaps its greatest challenge--one that will test our courage, our strength, and our belief in each other. Though my powers are great, this is not a struggle for Toa alone. Every leader, every villager, is like a single stone...and together, you can build a wall so mighty that no Bohrok could ever hope to bring it down!"

- Tahu
