Chirox

“Didn't anyone ever tell you, Toa, how it was that Makuta evolved into pure energy encased in armor? We found we didn't need our bodies. We can strike down our enemies without flexing a finger or taking a step.”

Chirox was a Makuta, one of the five Makuta that invaded Karda Nui, the others being Antroz, Vamprah, Mutran and Icarax. He was skilled in mutation, along with Mutran. He thought little of Mutran's work however, complaining that his Rahi didn't have enough teeth nor enough intelligence.

History

The Invasion of Karda Nui

Chirox was one of the Makuta chosen to invade the Universe Core. When he arrived he was weakened and blinded by the light of the Ignika as it revived Mata Nui. This forced him to turn the leader of the local Av-Matoran, Kirop, into a Shadow Matoran so he could see through Kirop's eyes and share his knowledge. However, his and the other Makuta's arrival in the Universe Core caused the Ignika to turn silver. If it were to turn black, it would drain life from all living beings in the Universe, killing them.

During the assault, Chirox was responsible for turning Gavla into a Shadow Matoran. He also wounded Pohatu with a Shadow hand. When the Toa Nuva and their allies attacked the Shadow Leech Hive, Chirox, along with Vamprah and Antroz defeated Kopaka and Solek after they defeated Mutran. After the Makuta were defeated up in the Stalactite Villages, Chirox and the rest of the Makuta saved Mutran and retreated to the Swamp of Secrets.

Mask and Tools

Chirox wore The Kanohi Shelek, Great Mask Of Silence. It allowed him to make someone deaf or mute for a while. He carried blades and a Tridax Pod. He can extend his arms for fierce battles.

Trivia

“Chirox, like Mutran, specializes in Rahi creation/mutation, and in fact thinks very little of Mutran's work, pointing out that the latter's Rahi never have enough teeth and aren't particularly intelligent.”
