	The seventh stage of a Kraata's development is called the Shadow Kraata. Kraata can only evolve to this stage if they have a particular strain of genetic material. As such, Shadow Kraata are very rare. When Kraata evolve to this seventh stage, they turn purple and acquire the physical features of any one of the previous six stages. Although their color changes, they retain their original power and can still only operate [[Rahkshi]] of the same type. This extends to their transformation into Rahkshi armor.

'''Kraata''' are slug-like creatures of darkness created from the [[Antidermis|essence]] of a [[Makuta]].

== History ==
Kraata have been in existence since the Makuta came into being. The creation of these Kraata was arranged by the [[Great Beings]] who had designed the [[Rahkshi]] for a preordained role.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=99|post=6893804|lines=6,16}} Ever after, Makuta were able to choose which type of Kraata they created, although the means by which they created them was lengthy and yielded weak Kraata. Despite their weakness, the Kraata were used to create and power Rahkshi, which were used in the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] armies. Following the Makuta's evolution from bio-mechanical beings to energy housed within armor, the Makuta found that they could create superior Kraata and in much less time, though creation of the slugs would still weaken them for a short period of time.

When Makuta [[Teridax]] was [[Great War|harassing]] the Matoran of [[Metru Nui]] during their stay on {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, he utilized a number of Kraata to plague the island, and infect Matoran [[Kanohi]]. He also created six Rahkshi, and their necessary pilot Kraata, as a precaution in case his other methods failed. The [[Turaga]] captured many Kraata that they had found throughout the years on the island, and kept them in [[Stasis Tube|stasis]] in a [[Kraata Cave|cave in Po-Wahi]]. These Kraata were freed from imprisonment by [[Guurahk]]'s Disintegration power, but were then sealed inside the cave by {{G|1|Tahu}} and {{G|1|Kopaka}}'s combined powers.

Much later, Makuta Teridax, in control of the Matoran Universe, used a horde of [[Rahkshi of Heat Vision]] and many other kinds of Rahkshi to assault the planet of [[Bara Magna]]. Tahu, devolved back into a [[Toa Mata]], used the power of the [[Golden Armor]] to incinerate the Kraata within the Rahkshi. After the Matoran Universe was rendered inoperable, the Kraata within Rahkshi later evacuated to Spherus Magna, where they went wild.

=== Alternate Universes ===
====[[The Melding Alternate Universe]]====
In this alternate universe, the Kraata yielded by the Makuta have some differing powers and do not have the ability to infect Kanohi, as the Makuta are affiliated with [[Light]] as opposed to [[Shadow]]. They also do not reach their seventh stage.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=272|post=10855|lines=3,11}} Kraata of Darkness do not exist, although there are Kraata of [[Telekinesis]]. In place of Fear and Anger, there are instead [[Courage]] and [[Peace]].{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=400|post=10759621}}

==== Great Spirit Makuta Alternate Universe ====
In an alternate universe in which the Makuta was created as a forty-million foot robot, he was not able to manipulate his internal workings to create Kraata, so he had servants to create them for him.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=479|post=11216795|lines=3,8}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
The Kraata resemble slugs and can [[Infected Kanohi|infect]] Kanohi through contact, though a seventh-level Kraata can do so at a distance.

They have many [[Kraata Variations|variations]] and powers, though they rarely utilize the latter for fear of being noticed. Each Kraata variation has a specific power and coinciding color, for which each type of specifically-colored [[Rahkshi]] are created when the Kraata are exposed to [[Energized Protodermis]]. Kraata typically develop in six stages, each stage progressively more intelligent and powerful than the previous. The features of the Kraata's head change with each stage, although the rare seventh stage can resemble any of the first six stages. There are forty-two different variations of Kraata, and in turn, forty-two different types of Rahkshi.

! Traits
|-
| 1
| Driven completely by instinct. With no real mind of its own, it slithers through deep, dark locations, eternally compelled to seek out Kanohi to infect.
|-
| 2
| Has little intelligence, but is aware enough to know to avoid Light and recognize danger.
|-
| 3
| Is capable of defending itself with its powers if necessary. It is also intelligent enough to typically avoid capture.
|-
| 4
| Can evade traps and withstand sunlight for a short while. They have also grown in intellect to the point where they can recognize Matoran and formulate a trap to infect their Kanohi via ambush.
|-
| 5
| Has developed its powers and knows how and when to use them best. These Kraata know the Makuta's will and actively seek out Matoran masks to infect.
|-
| 6
| Is fully aware of its mission and in control of its powers. Kraata at this stage are in constant communication with a Makuta to carry out their will.

=== Shadow Kraata ===
The seventh stage of a Kraata's development is called the Shadow Kraata. Kraata can only evolve to this stage if they have a particular strain of genetic material. As such, Shadow Kraata are very rare. When Kraata evolve to this seventh stage, they turn purple and acquire the physical features of any one of the previous six stages. Although their color changes, they retain their original power and can still only operate [[Rahkshi]] of the same type. This extends to their transformation into Rahkshi armor. They are the most intelligent of the Kraata stages, having intelligence on par with that of a Matoran or {{G|1|Toa}}; they are even capable of speaking the [[Languages#Matoran|Matoran]] language.

Shadow Kraata have a greater level of power than its previous stages, and gain the ability to infect masks from a distance of up to 100 yards (about 91.44 meters or 66.67 bio), though this power is nullified if they are inside a Rahkshi or otherwise restrained.

== Trivia ==
* [[Matoran]] would classify Kraata as Rahi, even though they are not.
* As Kraata are composed of [[Antidermis]] and not [[Protodermis]], they cannot be revived on the [[Red Star]].
