== History ==
The Kewa species, a sub-species of the [[Gukko]],{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=2|post=42}} was created by the [[Makuta]] using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|63|entryname=The Makuta}}

When the [[Great Cataclysm]] brought about the creation of the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, many Kewa migrated there and established themselves in [[Le-Wahi]]. In the wild, they shared their nests with their relative, the [[Taku]].{{MediaCitation|QftT}} The [[Le-Matoran]] of [[Le-Koro]] found them easy to tame, and they could summon the trained birds by using [[Flute]]s.<ref name="le-koro creatures"/> Tamed Kewa in Le-Koro lived in woven birdhouses and were often ridden as mounts in the [[Gukko Force]].{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}}

[[Kewa Bird Riding]] also became a popular sport in Le-Koro. Riding on a Kewa, the player would attempt knock their opponents off of the Kewa that they are riding while attempting to stay on their own.{{MediaCitation|QftT}} [[Turaga]] [[Matau]] himself was a famed Kewa Rider.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}}

When the wandering [[Av-Matoran]] [[Takua]] was tasked with the rescue of Turaga Matau, the Matoran discovered that the Turaga was trapped in a Kewa nest.{{MediaCitation|QftT}} Later, he made use of a Kewa bird he called with a Flute, who would transport him to various parts of Mata Nui.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}}

When the [[Bohrok]] swarms were prematurely awakened, the high jungle canopy territories of the wild Kewa were invaded by displaced [[Fikou]].{{OnlineCitation|WoH|chaptername=Island Wildlife on the Move}}

The Kewa later returned to the Matoran Universe after the Bohrok swarms destroyed Mata 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 Kewa left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Kewa are smaller than their Kahu cousins, but larger than the aquatic Taku. Unlike the Taku, Kewa are scavengers.<ref name="le-koro creatures"/> Kewa are known to carry objects as heavy as small boulders.{{MediaCitation|QftT}}

== Trivia ==
* The Kewa's name was for many years not considered a part of the BIONICLE canon, having been replaced by the Gukko because of a conflict with The LEGO Group using Maori terms (Kewa and Goko-Kahu).{{GregCitation|OGD|page=95|post=3778}} It was later placed back into canon as a sub-species of Gukko.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=2|post=42}}
