"Prototype"

"Unstable, yes; violent, unquestionably; insane, without a doubt. But those are just the sort of qualities I look for in a Dark Hunter."

- The Shadowed One, Dark Hunters

Prototype, is a Dark Hunter.

History
"Prototype" was created when a Dark Hunter once had an experimental weapon, and fired it at two Toa (Fire and Earth) just as they were merging together into a Toa Kaita-like form. The result fused them permanently and drove them mad, and the new being went on a rampage and disappeared. Centuries later, he was found injured in a swamp; he was nursed back to health by the Dark Hunters and recruited, given the codename "Prototype".

Prototype served as a guard for The Shadowed One's fortress. However, Vezok easily tricked the slow-witted Hunter into deserting his post by telling him that Zaktan was a traitor, and that Prototype needed to go to the other end of the island to warn The Shadowed One (who was, in fact, inside the fortress Prototype was supposed to be guarding). It is not known whether Prototype has been allowed to keep his position after this mistake.

After Teridax's death he evacuated the Matoran Universe and is now living on Spherus Magna.

Tools, Powers, and Abilities
Prototype retained control over the elements of fire and earth, and his organic parts decomposed to the point that he was mostly machine. He was incredibly powerful, but also quite stupid. His life force was tied to his armor, but after so long it was almost impenetrable. Prototype was sometimes used as a practice target for rookie Hunters; if they survive a fight with him, then they can handle their missions. Prototype almost killed Zaktan in the Piraka Rebellion, but Vezok tricked him into abandoning his post.
