Artakha Bull

"It's a smart creature. Catching it means you have to be even smarter. The fact that so many are still running around loose in Metru Nui tells you I'm not smarter...yet."

- Rahaga Bomonga

Artakha Bulls were hostile minotaur-like Rahi.

History
The Artakha Bull species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the numerous Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

A population of Bulls established themselves in Le-Metru in Metru Nui. They are one of the oldest kinds of Rahi known to the inhabitants of Metru Nui.

During the events of the Great Rescue, Rahaga Bomonga reported having extreme trouble capturing the Bulls because of their unusually high levels of intelligence and cunning.

Legend has it that the Bulls had intelligence far beyond anything the Matoran could ever hope to achieve, and for this reason were the only creatures allowed by Mata Nui to enter Artakha along with the Matoran. Another legend states that the Artakha Bulls were actually on Metru Nui long before Matoran populated it.

Abilities and Traits
Artakha Bulls were very strong and swift, as well as excellent trackers. They were extremely hostile and bad-natured. Some Artakha Bulls were known to carry spear-like tools.
