The Kofo-Jaga, also known as fire-scorpions,[1] are small scorpion Rahi.
History
The Kofo-Jaga species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[2]
Kofo-Jaga were known to inhabit abandoned Ta-Metru Foundries in Metru Nui.[3] Kofo-Jaga also lived in colonies on the Southern Continent, specifically the area known as Voya Nui.[4]
Following the Great Cataclysm, some of the Metru Nui Kofo-Jaga migrated to the newly-formed island of Mata Nui, where some were enslaved by Teridax.[5] When the Great Cataclysm caused Voya Nui to rocket upwards and land on the surface of Aqua Magna, its population of Kofo-Jaga survived the ascent.[4]
On Mata Nui, Kofo-Jaga were often found near the Mangai Volcano in Ta-Wahi.[3] Kofo-Jaga also migrated to Onu-Wahi.[6] An infected Kofo-Jaga guarded Toa Mata Pohatu's Toa Stone in Po-Wahi, but it was defeated by Takua.[5] Tahu was attacked by dozens of Kofo-Jaga while he was seeking a Kanohi Akaku.[7] Toa Nuva Onua used their love of lava and ferocious possessiveness to drive a pair of Manas away from a Kanohi Kaukau Nuva that he was seeking.[8]
Swarms of Kofo-Jaga were driven from their homes by the Bohrok swarms, causing trouble for the Onu-Koro Ussalry.[9] The Kofo-Jaga finally migrated back to Metru Nui when the Toa Nuva unleashed the Bohrok on the island.[10]
When the Toa Mahri destroyed the Cord and returned Voya Nui to its former position on the Southern Continent, its Kofo-Jaga population may not have survived the descent.[11]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Kofo-Jaga left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[12]
Abilities and Traits
Kofo-Jaga are attracted to heat and flame, and they thrived in the fires of Ta-Wahi.[3] They will only move if they smell lava or a similar heat source, and once they settle into an area, they will fiercely defend their territory.[8] Strangely, despite their love of heat and flame, they abhor light of any kind and prefer dark places; Matoran can easily ward off small numbers of them with a single Lightstone.[3] Kofo-Jaga are generally weak alone, but they can drive off a Manas in groups with their burning sting.[8] Kofo-Jaga are also very cunning and tend to ambush their opponents.[13] They are believed to be related to the larger Nui-Jaga.
