'''Krana''' are small organic creatures that link the Bohrok or other beings to the Bohrok swarms.

== History ==
The original Krana were created by the [[Great Beings]] by exposing the remains of the process that created the first [[Matoran]] to [[Energized Protodermis]]. This procedure resulted not only in Krana, but also {{p|Zyglak|Species}}.{{BookCitation|BEU|68}}

The Bahrag were later taught how to create Krana on their own and were given Energized Protodermis to do so. A carving depicting the process the Bahrag used was inscribed on a tunnel above Metru Nui.

When the Bohrok first [[Bohrok Invasion|attacked]] {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, the [[Turaga]] of the island instructed the [[Toa Mata]] to collect a specimen of each of the eight Krana varieties from each of the six Bohrok types. The Toa then placed the forty-eight Krana into niches on the floor of a [[Bohrok Nests|Bohrok Nest]], thus opening up pathways to six [[Exo-Toa]].

After the Bahrag were [[Battle in the Bohrok Nest|defeated]] and imprisoned in a [[Toa Seal]], the Matoran dumped many Krana into [[Krana Pits|deep pits]], which they sealed and marked with warning signs. However, many Krana still remained in stasis in their nests.

When the [[Toa Nuva]] returned and freed the Bahrag in [[Scroll of Preparations|preparation]] for [[Mata Nui's Reawakening]], the Bohrok destroyed the Krana pits and retrieved the creatures inside.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=260|post=10395|lines=2,9}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
The Krana receive commands from the [[Bahrag]] and can assimilate biomechanical beings to the Bohrok swarms by latching onto their faces and controlling their minds. Krana cannot control organic beings, such as those native to [[Spherus Magna]], as they do so by overriding their host's programming.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=301|post=12027|lines=13,30}} Krana can also slow down their life processes. Like the Matoran and Toa, Krana are a form of artificial intelligence.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=538|post=11595159}}

All [[Rahi]] fear and avoid Krana as they sense something about them is amiss.

=== Types ===
There are forty-eight varieties of Krana: for each of the six breeds of Bohrok, there are eight types that each bestow a different power. Bohrok cannot serve the Bohrok swarms without a Krana, and if a Krana is ever lost it is the task of the [[Bohrok Va]] to replace it.

The eight types of Krana are listed below.

Krana have both active and dormant states. Krana are active if they are inside an operating Bohrok or if they are attached to a being's face. When not commanding a host they go dormant, conserving energy and turning a different color. Bohrok Va do not need Krana to operate, so the Krana they bear are always in the dormant state.

== Trivia ==
* Matoran would classify Krana as Rahi, even though they are not.
