Protodites are microscopic Rahi that have existed since before Mata Nui was first awakened.
History
Protodites were created by the Great Beings to inhabit the Matoran Universe.
A sample of Protodites was once held in the Onu-Metru Archives. While the creatures were being studied, a Kraawa's escape attempt rocked and shattered the Protodites' container. The Protodites quickly spread throughout the Archives, but their population was kept in check by the Archives Moles that preyed upon them.[1]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Protodites left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[2]
Zaktan's Protodites
When the Skakdi Zaktan was exposed to the Shadowed One's disintegration eye beams, his body mass was transformed into a swarm of billions of Protodites. These Protodites never stopped moving, so Zaktan's body always appeared to be writhing.[3] The number of Protodites making up Zaktan's body was greatly reduced when he was exposed to the Pit Mutagen. All of Zaktan's Protodites later became part of the Golden-Skinned Being.[4]
Protodax
Protodax are Toa-sized Protodites enlarged by the power of the Kanohi Ignika. They guarded the 777 Stairs on Voya Nui and would attack anyone attempting to steal the Mask of Life.
The Toa Inika encountered a group of Protodax during their quest for the Mask of Life. The Protodax had the Toa surrounded before being driven away by Umbra.[5]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Protodax left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[2]
Abilities and Traits
Protodites are microscopic in stature[1] but are known to gather in swarms. When a Protodite is physically struck, it splits into two Protodites of equal size and strength. Archives Moles are the Protodites' only predator.[1]
Protodax look identical to regular Protodites in form but are many times larger, having been enlarged to the size of a Toa. Like Protodites, Protodax possess the ability to split themselves into two equally large and strong beings after being struck with a weapon or power.[6] The Protodax were incredibly ill-tempered[5] and acted with extreme hostility toward all other living things, especially those who sought the Kanohi Ignika.[7]
Tools
At least one Protodax carries a Zamor Launcher taken from a being who unsuccessfully tried to claim the Ignika. The launcher can fire Zamor Spheres whose powers permanently shrink a target down to a microscopic size, leaving the victim at the mercy of hostile Protodites.[7]
