Ruki are minnow-like[1] fish Rahi.
History
The Ruki species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[2]
Many Ruki made their home in the Silver Seas around Metru Nui.[3] After the Great Cataclysm, a population of Ruki migrated to Mata Nui, where they lived for 1,000 years. Here, Ruki were most often found in the seas around Ga-Koro.[4] When the Bohrok swarms were prematurely awakened, Ruki migration near the shore was disrupted by displaced Takea.[5] When the Toa Nuva intentionally unleashed the Bohrok, these Ruki migrated back to Metru Nui.[6]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Ruki were evacuated onto Spherus Magna.[7]
Abilities and Traits
Ruki are known for their powerful snapping jaws and habit of chewing through Matoran fishing nets. The Ruki are a natural enemy of the Tarakava and, despite being much smaller individually, entire schools of Ruki work together to drive off the larger Rahi.[8][4]
