Brakas

Brakas are mischievous monkey-like Rahi, considered a pest by the Matoran.

History
The Makuta originally created the Brakas using a combination of viruses and Liquid Protodermis.

In Metru Nui, Brakas were known to have occupied Le-Metru and Ga-Metru, where they made such pests of themselves that the Matoran eventually petitioned Turaga Dume to have them banned. Dume complied, and ordered the Vahki to capture all the entire population of Brakas and place them in Stasis Tubes in the Archives. However, the Brakas later escaped during the Great Cataclysm.

Subsequent to the Great Cataclysm, a large group of Brakas traveled to the jungles of Le-Wahi. They continued to make pests of themselves, and often stole fruit from village storehouses. These Brakas later migrated back to their original homeland, Metru Nui.

Several Brakas living in the Voya Nui region of the Southern Continent were known to have survived the region's ascent through the Southern Continent's dome.

After the Battle of Bara Magna, the majority of the Brakas migrated to the newly-reformed planet of Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits
Brakas are not considered especially dangerous, although they sometimes work themselves into a frenzy, in which case they become a mild threat. They are also believed to have an extremely low level of intelligence.
