Visorak Horde

The Visorak are a species of arachnine war Rahi created by the Makuta to serve as a covert military force. For centuries they stalked the Matoran Universe reducing islands to wastelands haunted by Hordika mutants. They were routed in their invasion of Metru Nui, and from there were reorganised and began to serve openly in the Brotherhood army.

The Visorak were the invention of Makuta Chirox, slowly tested and experimented with in the wilds of the island of Lilirum. Multiple breeds of specific roles in the army, with specialised combat powers, and to top it all off the latest in command and control crystals, dubbed the Heart of the Visorak. He worked until the species was hideously perfected, and unleashed them upon the island’s populace as a trial run. The event immediately brought the creatures to notoriety in the universe. Lilirum was renamed to Visorak after the creatures by Chirox to gloat, though the publicised reason was as a warning of what lay on the island. The blame for the Visorak’s creation was pinned on a Makuta that was purged though whose death was not publicised.

Chirox created the Heart of the Visorak, a telepathic crystal, to rule the Horde, but he couldn’t get them to obey him. Makuta Gorast had to intervene and rally them to the Brotherhood’s service in a display of immense violence, which would henceforth be known as the “Conquest of the Visorak.” Their service was kept a secret, and was placed under the command of a subcontracted King. Those few Visorak that openly served the Brotherhood were accompanied by Rahkshi of Rahi Control as an excuse and a guarantee. War Rahi were ubiquitous to the Brotherhood Army, so very few questions were raised and even then only about taste.

The Visorak Horde would serve as plausibly deniable superweapon to destroy islands they didn’t like. This would be the way of the Visorak for the next thousand years. The leadership would occasionally change with promotions, demotions, and coups by the Visorak themselves. Rule of the Horde was based purely on how brutally the leader could strike fear into the spider’s hearts. Eventually after an incident with an insurgent Toa Hagah team, the Horde was brought under the command of Sidorak as King and Roodaka as a viceroy. The Toa Hagah had been mutated by Roodaka into the “Rahaga” which began to stalk the Horde and aid escapees, all while seeking a mythical cure in the form of Keetongu, master of cures.

The final action of the original horde was the attack on Metru Nui after the Great Cataclysm to rescue Makuta Teridax from a Toa seal. This was the most significant and metropolitan area ever hit by the horde prior to their open servitude of the Brotherhood, though Metru Nui was nearly abandoned by that point. They did require a major battle with the remaining Vahki, but the city was occupied.

The occupation of Metru Nui proved their final unravelling. They mutated the Toa Metru into Hordika but ended up having to fight a guerrilla war with them across the city. They pressured one of the Hordika into defecting, promising them a leadership position over the horde. When the rest of the Toa Hordika, the Rahaga, and the legendary Keetongu came to rescue them, a battle was fought in which Sidorak was killed, Roodaka’s strength brought into severe question, and an explicit order was given to disband. Given the fear of punishment for disobedience, the Horde dutifully disbanded.

Visorak became widespread and nowhere near the threat they used to be, though their infamy lived on. A tiny Visorak nest was enough to cause evacuations, and many wanted to see if they could weaponise the spiders. Clan Umoth on Stelt notable managed to gather up a sizeable little army that promptly rampaged across Stelt and caused great damage to the island. The Brotherhood too began slowly regathering the Horde, not using the Heart of the Visorak due to a desire for subtlety.

The Dark Hunters, at this point at war with the Brotherhood, chose to publicly reveal that the Makuta created and controlled the Visorak Horde. They proved this with documents supplied to them by Roodaka. The Brotherhood took a massive public relations loss, but were now able to use the Horde openly as their weapon. The Brotherhood’s military capacity increased immensely. Visorak were a pillar of their army which needed to be smashed.

During their own war with the Brotherhood, the Order of Mata Nui had the Toa Nuva steal the Heart of the Visorak, which they used (under orders they didn’t fully understand) to have the Horde commit mass suicide in a volcanic eruption. The Brotherhood took a military blow that was the first in a long stream of military defeats.

Despite the Brotherhood’s defeat by the Order, Makuta Teridax was able to take over the universe and enact his will. To help enforce his reign, he recreated the Visorak from the GSR’s species synthesisers. He specifically sent Visorak against those that had spent so much effort in defeating the Horde in the first place, as a major morale blow and demonstration that Makuta was unstoppable.

Makuta was stopped, fatally, and his armies disbanded. The Visorak Horde once again disbanded and attempted to escape the universe. Many have escaped into the wilds of the Spherus Magna, while many others were culled by vengeful victims as they tried to leave.

...

Visorak were quadrupedal spider rahi roughly the size of a Toa; a size that balanced fighting potential and cheap production. Each of them have the ability to produce extremely durable webbing which they can use to move around and restrain victims. Each Visorak also can secret hordika venom from their mandibles, can use a rhotuka spinner with two different powers (paralysis and a second species specific power), and have a tertiary power unique to the species. Visorak are a sapient species of Rahi, which the Makuta regretted as it ended up with too many questioned orders. However, their brains were wired to obey the directives of the Heart of the Visorak without question.

There were nine breeds of Visorak:

Keelerak: Green armoured. They have retractable razors in their feet, and their rhotuka creates a globule of highly potent acid. Noted as the most violent Visorak breed.

Suukorak: White and blue armoured. They have an ability to slow their life processes down to near zero, being nearly undetected and undistinguishable from the dead. Their rhotuka has a powerful electric charge. Noted as natural tacticians amongst the Visorak.

Boggarak: Blue armoured. They have the ability to emit sonic screams and their rhotuka causes a debilitating bloating effect in their victims. Can skate across water on their legs. Technically all Visorak can do this; the Boggark are the only ones that bother to. When a leader is weak they are the first to scheme overthrow, but when a leader is strong they are the most blindly obedient.

Vohtarak: Red and orange armoured. Their horns have invulnerability powers when charging fast enough, and their rhotuka have a burning agoniser power. Noted as the most loyal breed to the Brotherhood’s cause.

Oohnorak: Black and yellow armoured. Have the ability to mimic voices stolen from memories via telepathy, and their rhotuka have a numbing effect. Follow the horde loyally due to a lack of leadership skills or imagination. The Brotherhood has considered culling all Visorak Breeds except for the Oohnorak, but decided against it.

Roporak: Brown and red armoured. Have the ability to blend in with their surroundings, and their rhotuka have an energy drain ability. Noted as the most cautious fighters amongst the Visorak.

Kahgarak: Gold and blue armoured, and twice the size of a regular Visorak. Their rhotuka have the ability to open portals to or suck victims into the Field of Shadows. Rare amongst the breeds due to the resources needed to synthesise them, and operate as special forces for the Horde.

Mothurak: Grey and sand green armoured, and only slightly larger than a Matoran’s head. They have elasticity powers and their rhotuka have a magnetising effect. Used mostly to scout out tunnels and crevases too narrow for regular Visorak.

Zypherak: Silver and copper armoured, and have a pair of wings to fly with. Their powers are odd. Flight is considered their tertiary power despite is being an anatomical feature, and only have paralysis rhotuka. However, their rhotuka differ from the others in which they burst in mid air and bath the entire area in paralytic energy. Obviously used to hunt aerial prey.

Three other species are dragged along in service of the Horde:

Colony Drones: Simple creatures in reptilian faces and Turaga like stature. Kept as cattle for the Horde; their rhotuka are mere low-yield energy projectors that can be fed on.

Gate Guardians: Larger bipeds used as guards for important installations. They can turn invisible, and their rhotuka project tiny illusions of themselves.

Zivon: An enormous destructive scorpion beast, normally residing in the Field of Shadows, and used as a last resort superweapon by the Horde. Its rhotuka rob targets of their senses. Has a fondness for the taste of Visorak and tends to kill as many of them as their enemy.

Two major pieces of military hardware saw frequent use by the Horde:

Battle Ram: Giant siege engines prominently featuring a battering ram carved in the likeness of a Visorak. The platform is also a mobile fortress that can house a division of Visorak and features a powerful catapult.

Transport Ships: Giant carrier submarines used to discreetly move the Horde from island to island. The Visorak originally crawled along the outer shell of the domes, but after being granted non-spidery officers and proper military equipment they required better transport.

The Horde answered to the Makuta, but due to the need to remain dissociated the Makuta subcontracted rule of the Horde to an officer that became Visorak King, whose rule was theoretically absolute. The King tended to leave day-to-day operations to a Viceroy. Beyond them there were occasionally other officers serving under the Viceroy, usually captaining the transport ships. Beyond that there was no structure to the Horde. An attempt was made to install Kahgarak as platoon captains, but the King found it easier to just let the Visorak organise themselves.

The start of the story is that I finally dipped my toes into using bricklink. As in, my job pays well enough that I feel okay spending money on old Bionicle sets. I’ve browsed bricklink before, but I haven’t seriously looked for anything until a couple weeks ago. Fast forward to today, where I message a guy in my city about a Mazeka set that is still in the original bags. And as much fun as getting that and putting it together was, that’s another story.

The guy I bought Mazeka off of didn’t have the time to sort through a bag of Bionicle specific pieces he had acquired, and offered them to me for free with my purchase. It had a dozen masks in it, half of them ones I’ve never had before to boot, so I paid him extra for the assortment. I tell him tell to ring me up if he ever gets more, and I go home and empty everything out onto the table. And like.

So much eviscerated plastic.

Is on the table in front of me. It takes me two hours to go through the entire thing, picking out toys that aren’t lego, finding a Fawkes figure and a Nokama Hordika minifig too in the process, several mega blocks pieces, several plain lego parts, even some Knights Kingdom pieces from about 04-06 if I remember correctly. Several pieces broken beyond repair go in the trash. And then comes the realization that I can’t put together ANYthing completely with what I have. I have pieces from Tahu Mata, Lehvak, Tahnok Kal, Hafu, Turahk and Panrahk, Whenua and Matau Metru, Lhikan, Keerakh, Matau Hordika, Rahaga Iruni, Suukorak, Keetongu pretty randomly, Vezok, Jaller and possibly two Hewkii Inikas, Ehlek and Pridak, Hewkii Mahri, possibly a Matoro Mahri, possibly a Radiak, possibly a Berix… and at least a half dozen other pieces I don’t know how to place. Kinda strange too is how there are next to no torsos in the mix.

Most of these incomplete sets are less than ten pieces apiece. But Ehlek is something different. I unearth a single spine, practically the whole torso, one weapon, one mandible. Keep in mind that this is a set that I never bought when it was originally released. I want him bad enough that I try to put him together with online instructions, and scrabble together something as close to the orignal set as I can from the existing pieces I have in front of me. And what I end up with is… the saddest looking thing I’ve seen in a while. There’s at least a dozen pieces missing, but there’s just enough there that I see a character that just wants to be whole again. What you see in the picture is the best I could remake him with the pieces I had on the table, and it exists somewhere between lopsided and lacking.

I’ve gotten to the point now where my goal for the foreseeable future is to acquire the parts necessary to put this guy together completely. If I can get a canister that’ll be amazing, but I haven’t figured out whether that’s part of bricklink yet. Stay tuned I guess? This could be a strange quest, but dammit I’m gonna put this guy together.

#she also knows about krahka #and keetongu #and the rahi nui

Excellent points

Let’s recap, shall we?

We didn’t see Hahli use her Faxon very much, which is probably good because if she did use it a lot, narrative tension would be a thing of the past. The powers we did see her use are:

- Hypnotic light patterns - Unknown undersea Rahi

and

- Poison immunity - Unknown undersea Rahi

But taking into account all the Rahi Hahli knows of, she is also capable of all these and likely more, depending on her location:

-Shapeshifting - Krahka / Archives Beast (Likely unable to mass-shift)

-Elemental Fire/Water/Air/Earth/Stone/Ice powers - Fire Entity / Burnak / Gafna

- Protodermis control - Protodermis Burnak

-Lava generation - Catapult Scorpion (She may not know of this one)

-Perfect weather prediction - Dermis Turtle

-Toxic breath - Doom Viper

-Electricity generation - Electric Bug / Electric Spider / Red Serpent

-Energy tracking - Energy Hound

-Teleportation - Fader Bull

-Heat absorption - Frost Leech

-Smaller image projection - Gate Guardian

-Heat resistance - Hikaki / Lava Eel / Hoto / others

-Heat generation - Hoto / Lava Eel

-Air harvesting - Hydruka

-Flight - Shore Turtle

-Fire Breath - Kanohi Dragon (I’m not sure if Hahli ever heard of it)

-Concussive energy blasts - Kardas / Mana Ko

-Antidote production - Keetongu

-Inter-temporal telepathy - Kratana

-Power scream - Klakk (Takanuva will definitely tell her this one. They’ll get those Shadow Takanuva cleaned up FAST)

-Bioluminescence - Lightfish

-Cold resistance - Ice Mahi / Suukorak / others

-Acid breath - Mud Crawler

-Intangibility - Phase Daragon

-Duplication - Protodite

-All 8 standard Kanoka Powers (Reconstitute at Random, Freeze, Weaken, Remove Poison, Enlarge, Shrink, Regenerate, Teleport) - Rahi Nui

-Converting Elemental Energy into growth - Rahi Nui

-Biological armour repair - Toa Terrain Crawler

-Substance mimicry - Tunneler

-Hordika Venom production(?) - Visorak (Not sure if this counts as a power)

-Berzerker charge - Vohtarak

-Matter-dissolving sonic hum - Boggarak

-Limited telepathy / voice mimicry - Oohnorak

-Camouflage - Roporak

-Stasis sleep - Suukorak

And those are just the Rahi she (most likely) knows about. ...Faxon wearers are terrifying as Karzahni

Faxon

Friendly reminder that the Fire Entity exists and is considered a Rahi, meaning that any and all wearers of a Kanohi Faxon have access to Elemental Fire powers on the level of or exceeding those of a Toa of Fire

[samplingthoughts-2]

THE VISORAK ARE CHESS PIECES

I was thinking about the visorak and the roles they play, and then it hit me: BAM, THEY'RE CHESS PIECES. Vohtarak = Knight / Bursts of serious aggression, can definitely fuck you up. Boggarak = Queen / Easily the most powerful, will fuck you up. Keelerak = Pawns / Front line, dime a dozen, will still fuck you up. Suukorak = Bishop / Never see them coming, fuck you up in the right circumstances. Roporak = King / Keep their distance, can fuck you up but probably won't. Oohnorak = Rook / Living battering ram, underrated, fully capable of fucking you up. And now I need a visorak chess set in my life.
