History

Star Skrall — A warrior-class Skrall with green as a secondary color

The Skrall were formerly soldiers in the Core War on Spherus Magna under the Element Lord of Rock. A large number of them ended up on Bara Magna after The Shattering, and settled in the northern parts of the planet.

Thousands of years later, they were attacked by Baterra, shapeshifting beings who killed many Skrall including all the leader class Skrall except Tuma, and moved south to avoid extinction. The Skrall were later employed as Glatorian. Years later, Tuma, leader of the Skrall, ordered them to attack the Arena Magna during the Great Tournament, killing many Glatorian and Agori. Metus later convinced the Skrall and the Bone Hunters to join forces. They did and destroyed Tajun. Mata Nui entered the arena, and challenged Tuma to a fight for his friends freedom. Tuma accepted the challenge and was eventually defeated by Mata Nui. Metus, who revealed himself as a traitor, arrived in the city, and ordered the Skrall and Bone Hunters to attack. Before they could launch their assault, a massive creature arose from the sands (greatly resembeling Malum). The Skrall believed it to be a Baterra attack and panicked, fleeing the arena. They encountered the Glatorian, and fought them. Five of the Glatorian, who had Elemental Powers, were able to defeat the army.

With the defeat of Tuma, the Skrall abandoned Roxtus and began following elite soldiers.

When Teridax arrived on Bara Magna, he released Rahkshi and Skakdi on Bara Magna, to battle the Glatorian. A few Skrall, led by Stronius, took advantage of the situation, and attacked the Glatorian.

When the Rahkshi were destroyed by the powers of the Golden Armor, and Teridax had been defeated by Mata Nui, the Skrall and Skakdi surrendered to the Glatorian and Toa.

Bionicle.Com Description

Skrall Glatorian are arrogant, vicious, brutal, fear nothing and care about even less. They are just waiting for the opportunity to start taking whatever they want, whenever they want it. They are incredibly skilled fighters, both with and without weapons. What they may lack in technique they make up for with sheer bludgeoning power and strength.
