The '''Skopio''' is a species of massive [[creatures|creature]] residing in [[Bara Magna]].

== History ==
The [[Great Beings]] tampered with the Skopio species, altering their physiology to make them biomechanical. The [[Iron Tribe]] praised and revered Skopio, though this action was looked down upon by the other tribes, and was later attributed to causing the [[Dreaming Plague|plague]] that wiped most of them out.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}

As {{p|Mata Nui|Being}}, [[Ackar]], and [[Kiina]] were traveling to [[Tajun]], a Skopio rose out of the sand and attacked them. Kiina attempted to drive past the Skopio in their [[Thornatus]], but the creature knocked over their vehicle. The creature was drawn to Mata Nui, who was using himself as bait, and attacked him. Mata Nui managed to climb on top of the Skopio, and used its [[Thornax Launcher]] to take out several [[Bone Hunters]]. The Skopio knocked Mata Nui upward, onto a cliff. Mata Nui then caused a rockslide, which buried the Skopio.{{MediaCitation|B:TLR}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Skopio are large, vicious creatures and can easily grow up to thirty feet in height. They have thick, powerful shells, which are capable of enduring much damage. They are known to hide beneath the sands and attack when they sense the vibrations of passing prey. Due to their size, there are rarely more than one in a thousand mile radius. Skopio are the apex predators of Bara Magna and are the only creatures that feed on Rock Steeds, although they seem to prefer hunting [[Sand Stalker]]s.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}

Skopio are biomechanical as a result of the alteration of the Great Beings. They possess Thornax Launchers on their tails, fitted with a scope. They also have treads on their legs.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}

* The warrior [[Telluris]], a member of the Iron Tribe, based his vehicle, the [[Skopio XV-1]], on the Skopio creature.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}
* The Skopio model seen in ''The Legend Reborn'' incorporates elements from the Telluris set figure, though Telluris himself does not appear in the movie.{{MediaCitation|B:TLR}}
* A [[Skrall]] squad was once sent out to capture a Skopio alive for [[Roxtus]]. Only their scattered armor was found.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}
* [[Vorox]] packs have tried to bring down a Skopio in the past with very mixed success.{{BookCitation|TLR-OMG|startpage=12|endpage=13|entryname=Skopio}}
