'''Kane-Ra''', also known as the '''Bulls of Legends''',<ref>[[https://web.archive.org/web/20030812131648/http://www.lego.com:80/eng/bionicle/lexicon.asp?contid=gl BIONICLE Lexicon#G-L] BIONICLE.com</ref> are extremely territorial bull-like [[Rahi]].

== History ==
Kane-Ra were originally created by the [[Makuta]] from a blend of [[Virus]]es in vats of [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] as part of their duty to populate the [[Matoran Universe]] with Rahi.{{BookCitation|MGttU|63|entryname=The Makuta}}

On [[Metru Nui]], Kane-Ra were usually seen roaming the lands of [[Po-Metru]], their preferred habitat.{{BookCitation|RB|41|entryname=Kane-Ra Bull}} When Makuta [[Teridax]] caused the [[Great Cataclysm]], the Kane-Ra, like many other Rahi, migrated to the island above, {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}.{{BookCitation|BEU|52|entryname=Kane-Ra}} Some stayed during part of the {{p|Visorak|Rahi}} occupation, and one herd was observed by [[Pouks]] and [[Onewa]].{{BookCitation|BA8|23|chapternumber=3}}

The Kane-Ra on Mata Nui were soon infected with [[Infected Kanohi]] and organized into Teridax's army of Rahi. The Makuta often paired the bulls with [[Muaka]], while these two very different Rahi would not work together under ordinary circumstances.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030812161211/http://www.lego.com:80/eng/bionicle/characters.asp?charid=muakakanera BIONICLE Muaka and Kane-Ra] BIONICLE.com</ref> Teridax used the Kane-Ra to terrorize the [[Matoran]] for a thousand years, until the arrival of the [[Toa Mata]]. He then directed the Kane-Ra, along with Muaka, to attack the [[Toa]] in an attempt to defeat them. During a journey to meet the other Toa, [[Kopaka]] and [[Pohatu]] were attacked by a Kane-Ra in [[Ko-Wahi]], but managed to trap it in a crevice and crush it with boulders.{{BookCitation|BC1|startpage=34|endpage=35|chapternumber=6|chaptername=Kopaka - Toa of Ice}}

When the Toa Mata defeated Teridax, he released his hold over the Rahi, and they retreated, to roam around the valleys of Mata Nui as they had before the Makuta had infected them.{{BookCitation|BEU|52|entryname=Kane-Ra}}

The Kane-Ra of Mata Nui avoided the [[Bohrok]] to the best of their ability, but when the [[Toa Nuva]] released the insectoid robots intentionally, the Kane-Ra retreated back to Metru Nui.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=34|post=1357|lines=5,20}}

After the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], many Kane-Ra immigrated to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

=== Mutated Kane-Ra ===
In his [[Mangaia|lair]] in the {{p|Maze of Shadows|Location}}, Teridax conducted many experiments on Rahi. Among other bizarre results, the experiments produced a Kane-Ra that had no legs, which was later encountered by the [[Toa Metru]] on their journey back to Metru Nui.{{BookCitation|BA6|48|chapternumber=3}}

=== [[Charger]] ===
Now a [[Dark Hunters|Dark Hunter]], Charger was once a Kane-Ra, before he was transformed into a brutish humanoid.{{BookCitation|DH|entryname=Charger|startpage=14|endpage=15}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Kane-Ra typically prefer to live as loners, becoming fiercely territorial over their grange. This, along with the short supply of vegetation in Po-Metru, kept Kane-Ra from behaving as herd animals. The bulls often travel alone, and on rare occasions by two or three, feeding on vegetation by day and searching for shelter in caves by night. Their sharp horns protect them from predators such as Muaka, and their territorial nature drives off other desert Rahi such as [[Nui-Jaga]]. Kane-Ra are normally not a threat to Matoran, but will attack if approached too close or too quickly.{{BookCitation|RB|41|entryname=Kane-Ra Bull}} Kane-Ra are brave and bold to the point of being unstoppable, even suicidal.{{BookCitation|DH|entryname=Charger|startpage=14|endpage=15}}

Kane-Ra are bovine in appearance, with sharp, curving horns and a broad snout. They possess a tread-like appendage in place of hind legs. They are capable of extending their necks a great distance and use this ability to great effect as a defense mechanism.{{MediaCitation|QftM}}

== Trivia ==
* A creature that was either a mutated Kane-Ra or an [[Artakha Bull]] was said to guard the [[Three Virtues|map]] dug under Metru Nui by [[Blade Burrower]]s.
