Rahaga

The beings known as Rahaga were once an elite team of Toa called the Toa Hagah. The Toa Hagah were charged with guarding Makuta, who had sworn to protect the Matoran.

History
Makuta secretly began to enslave Matoran, as did the Brotherhood that he was a member of. When the Toa Hagah discovered this, they turned against Makuta and the Brotherhood, stealing the Avohkii Mask of Light from one of their strongholds in hopes that it would be used against Makuta one day. However, four of the Toa Hagah - Gaaki, Bomonga, Pouks, and Kualus - were captured and mutated into small, Rahkshi-faced creatures by Makuta's subordinate Roodaka, who dubbed these new forms "Rahaga". Norik and Iruini were able to rescue their friends, but they were mutated into Rahaga as well.

Soon afterwards, the Rahaga decided to dedicate themselves to opposing the Brotherhood's armies of Visorak spiders, whom Roodaka was second-in-command of. In whatever lands the Visorak conquered, the Rahaga worked to rescue as much of the Rahi wildlife as possible from their clutches, in this way they learned the ways of Rahi and became master trackers. They also began to search for Keetongu, a mythical Rahi said to be able to counteract any poison, including the Visorak's Hordika venom.

In time, the Rahaga came to the city of Metru Nui, where Keetongu was said to be living. They hid the Mask of Light in the city, and themselves stayed hidden from the population, watching as Makuta put all of the city's Matoran to sleep and then become imprisoned by the Toa Metru. Soon afterward, the Visorak arrived in Metru Nui.

When the Toa Metru returned to the Visorak-controlled city, they were quickly captured and mutated by the Visorak's Hordika venom. The Rahaga then revealed themselves, saving the Toa from certain death, and offered their help in rescuing the Matoran and finding a cure for the mutation.

Toa Vakama eventually gave himself over to the feral side that the mutation unleashed and attacked the Rahaga, delivering five of them over to the Visorak's king, Sidorak. Norik, who was left behind to "deliver a message" to the other Toa, used new information to lead the Toa to Keetongu. Keetongu offered his help in fighting off the hordes, and in the following battle Norik was able to free his fellow Rahaga.

After helping the cured Toa Metru build airships to transport the Matoran to the island of Mata Nui, the Rahaga stayed on Metru Nui helping Turaga Dume to rebuild the city as much as they can. They also travelled from the city often, continuing to aid lands that the Visorak had previously conquered. They were last seen welcoming the Matoran back to Metru Nui, and presumably have since departed again.

When the Toa Nuva went to Xia to find Roodaka the Rahaga arrived to help and were hit with Roodaka's Rhotuka Spinner again transforming them back into Toa.
