These Manas creatures are not ordinary Rahi.

Manas were gigantic, crab-like Rahi that were both smart and strong. They were known to be the most dangerous of the Rahi on Mata Nui.

Nokama encountered the creatures during their trip to Mata Nui, witnessing two of them attack a sea slug Rahi. Later she named them Manas, the Matoran word for "monster".

Teridax controlled two Manas that were later freed (these same two were later encountered by Toa Onua and Turaga Whenua). Karzahni had several Manas in his realm. These Rahi were also attracted to heat.

QftM 283 Infected Manas

A pair of infected Manas.

When the Toa Mata journeyed to Teridax's lair in Mangaia, they encountered a group of Manas controlled by Teridax. The only way the Toa could defeat them was by merging into Toa Kaita: Wairuha and Akamai.

At one point, Onua was able to pit a Kofo-Jaga against some Manas to defeat them.
