The '''Visorak''' are spider-like [[Rahi]] that once made up a large portion of the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]]'s army.

== History ==
=== Early history ===
The Visorak were first created by [[Makuta]] [[Chirox]] on [[Tobduk]]'s [[Visorak (Location)|home island]] more than 75,000 years ago.{{BookCitation|BW|chaptername=Zakaz|chapternumber=9|entryname=History|page=72}} After Chirox named them, the Visorak created their own language, attributing the meanings "stealers of life" or "poisonous scourge" to their species name.{{BookCitation|BA8}} Following their creation, they were unleashed on Tobduk's home island{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=685|post=12478962}} to test their skill. The Visorak devastated the island, with only a few of its [[Vokuru|inhabitants]] managing to escape to [[Nynrah]]. This island was later re-named Visorak after the creatures who had ravaged it.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|6}} Despite the renaming, the world at large was unaware of the origins of the Visorak.{{BookCitation|BA7}}{{BookCitation|BA8}}

Chirox subsequently created the [[Heart of the Visorak]],{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=493|post=11277153|lines=2,9}} an artifact that had the ability to summon any and all Visorak no matter how far they were. Makuta [[Gorast]] used it to gather the Visorak and conquered them.{{BookCitation|BL10}} They were then incorporated into the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]]'s military.{{ComicCitation|C25}}

75,000 years ago, [[Spiriah]] took several Visorak with him to [[Zakaz]], where he assigned them to monitor the [[Skakdi]], who had been granted powers. In Spiriah's absence, the Skakdi wiped out the Visorak.{{BookCitation|BW}}

2,500 years ago, Makuta [[Kojol]] formed a strike team consisting of Visorak, [[Rahkshi]], and [[Exo-Toa]] on a mission to [[Raid on Artakha|invade]] [[Artakha (Location)|Artakha]] and steal the [[Kanohi]] [[Avohkii]]. The Visorak were promptly eliminated by the [[Crystal Serpents]].{{OnlineCitation|TMC|8}}

=== Visorak Horde ===
1,300 years ago, the Visorak were joined under the rule of [[Sidorak]] and his Viceroy [[Roodaka]] to create the Visorak Horde. They invaded several inhabited lands to defeat any potential obstacles to the Brotherhood and seal all remaining living beings in cocoons before moving on.{{ComicCitation|C24}}

Makuta [[Belgahn]]'s schemes led to an invasion of [[Kurai]] by the Visorak.{{RSGCitation|Map|entryname=Kurai}}

The island of [[Cendak]] was razed by the Visorak to prevent a revolt of the [[Urakiri]].{{RSGCitation|Map|entryname=Cendak}} The island of [[Kadrah]] suffered a similar fate.{{RSGCitation|Map|entryname=Kadrah}}

Toa [[Lesovikk]] once defended an [[Southern Islands|island to the south]] from the Visorak.{{BookCitation|BEU}}

During another invasion, Toa [[Chiara]] electrocuted the [[Colony Drone]]s stationed with the Visorak. As the Visorak left to find more food sources, they were individually picked off by Chiara.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|1}}

Several Visorak attacked Ba-Koro on the [[Southern Continent]] and were killed by [[Ba-Matoran]].{{OnlineCitation|RoS|9}}

Some scouts from the Visorak Horde became stranded on [[Voya Nui]] due to the [[Great Cataclysm]].{{BookCitation|BL1|startpage=9|endpage=10}}

When Makuta [[Teridax]] was [[Battle at the Great Barrier|trapped]] in a [[Toa Seal]], he summoned the Visorak Horde to his aid.{{BookCitation|BA8|5}} The Visorak Horde quickly descended on Metru Nui, spreading webs throughout the city, securing the [[Matoran Sphere|sleeping]] [[Matoran]], and establishing a strong presence in the city. Sidorak and Roodaka chose the [[Coliseum]] as their fortress and base of operations.{{BookCitation|BA7}}

Upon returning to [[Great Rescue|rescue]] the Matoran, the [[Toa Metru]] were captured and [[Hordika Venom|mutated]] into [[Toa Hordika]]. To free Teridax and gain complete control of the Visorak, Roodaka arranged for the Toa to fall to their deaths after their mutation. This plan was foiled by the intervention of the [[Rahaga]], who rescued and allied with the new Toa Hordika.{{BookCitation|BA7}} With the Toa Hordika and Rahaga fighting together, the Visorak began to suffer setbacks, including the [[Battle for the Tower of Toa|seizing]] of a [[Tower of Toa|command tower]].{{BookCitation|BA8}}

Toa Hordika [[Vakama]] betrayed his allies to the Visorak and was made a field commander of the Visorak Horde by Sidorak. During a [[Battle of Metru Nui|confrontation]] in the Coliseum, Roodaka allowed Sidorak to be killed, making Vakama, whom she believed she could control, the new leader of the Visorak.{{MediaCitation|B3:WoS}} As the Visorak Horde began to overwhelm the remaining Toa Hordika and Rahaga, Roodaka ordered them to stop, and proclaimed her victory over the Toa, tricking them into attacking her with their {{G|1|Elements|elemental powers}} to free Teridax. Vakama revealed his change of heart and ordered the Visorak Horde to disband. The Visorak then left Metru Nui.{{BookCitation|BA9}}

=== The Dark Times ===
500 years ago, a band of Visorak stragglers attempted to attack Metru Nui. They were quickly defeated by the Rahaga, [[Keetongu]], and [[Turaga]] [[Dume]].{{OnlineCitation|TDR}}

The Brotherhood of Makuta eventually reformed their army of Visorak.{{BookCitation|BL4}} They served as guardians of the Brotherhood base on [[Destral]] and a formidable army against the [[Dark Hunters]]. The Visorak led a semi-successful raid against [[Odina]], causing considerable damage and casualties. Rumor said that [[Dahkini]] were also attempting to assemble the Visorak.{{BookCitation|DH}}

As per the [[Scroll of Preparations]], [[Toa Nuva]] {{G|1|Pohatu}} and {{G|1|Onua}} recovered the [[Heart of the Visorak]] from the [[Tren Krom Peninsula]] and brought it to the [[Order of Mata Nui]].{{OnlineCitation|TNB}}
[[Johmak]] gave the Heart of the Visorak to the [[Toa Mahri]] and ordered them to use it on [[Artidax]]. [[Jaller]], [[Nuparu]], and [[Hahli]] traveled there, closely followed by the Visorak, who assembled on the island.{{OnlineCitation|DID|4}} There, they came across the three Toa Mahri, who were hypnotized by [[Takadox]]. However, the Toa managed to break free of their hypnosis and escape the island. The Visorak remained trapped on the island, and were wiped out when the volcano on the island erupted.{{OnlineCitation|DID|6}}

=== Teridax's Reign ===
Makuta Teridax recreated the Visorak after taking over the [[Great Spirit Robot]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|page=91}}

When {{p|Mata Nui|Being}} injured Teridax in the battle of [[Bara Magna]], some circuits within his body were fused together, causing system failures and a molten protodermis leak. Teridax sent several Visorak to contain the damage.{{BookCitation|JE}} After Teridax was killed, the Visorak became a wild species and emigrated to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=283|post=11283}}{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

=== Alternate Universes ===
==== [[Toa Empire Alternate Universe]] ====
A dead Visorak was placed in the Metru Nui [[Archives]] as a trophy of the Toa Empire.{{OnlineCitation|DM}}

==== [[The Kingdom Alternate Universe]] ====
After Mata Nui died, the Visorak migrated to the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]] with many of the universe's other beings. Some of them work with the Matoran, while others are performers.{{OnlineCitation|TK}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Visorak are large, quadrupedal spider Rahi. They come in seven different breeds. Each breed possesses a unique [[Rhotuka]] spinner power and other abilities.

All Visorak could be gathered together with the [[Heart of the Visorak]], regardless of how far they would have to travel.{{OnlineCitation|TNB|10}} Aside from breed-specific powers, all Visorak also possess a store of unique venom called [[Hordika Venom]]. The venom transforms its victim into a twisted, primal form that is far more aggressive than usual. [[Keetongu]] is the only being known to be able to cure mutated victims, but cannot help the victims past a certain threshold.{{BookCitation|BA9}} The Visorak themselves are immune to the venom.{{GregCitation|OGD|page=81|post=3230}}

Visorak also have the ability to produce webbing. Visorak webs are green, produced from the mouth or abdomen. The Visorak use the webs to get around quickly, and to communicate with other Visorak by sending vibrations across the strands of webbing. After the Great Cataclysm, the Visorak covered Metru Nui with the webs as part of their takeover.{{ComicCitation|C22}} The Matoran worked to clear the webs,{{BookCitation|BL1}} but abandoned the effort after Teridax's death.{{BookCitation|JE}}

Various Visorak attempted to rebel against their leaders. According to [[Avak]], rebellious Visorak tried to kill Makuta [[Teridax]].{{BookCitation|BL4}} Several Roporak under Sidorak and Roodaka tried to overthrow their two rulers and were savagely punished for the attempt.{{BookCitation|BA8}} The Keelerak also aspired to overthrow Sidorak and replace him with one of their own, but never actually attempted it.{{ComicCitation|C25}} By the time of their conquest of Metru Nui, however, most Visorak were totally obedient to Sidorak and Roodaka. They were also quick to accept Vakama as their leader once he gained Sidorak and Roodaka's trust.{{BookCitation|BA9}}

=== Breeds ===
There are seven breeds of Visorak.
* [[Boggarak]]
* [[Kahgarak]]{{BookCitation|RB|entryname=Kahgarak}}
* [[Keelerak]]
* [[Oohnorak]]
* [[Roporak]]
* [[Suukorak]]
* [[Vohtarak]]
