Ranama are amphibious Rahi which live amidst the heat of lava flows.
History
The Ranama species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[1]
In Ta-Metru, the Ranama were hated by the Ta-Matoran due to their aggressive natures and the fact that Ranama-infested molten Protodermis vats had to be carefully filtered in order to remove the vermin.[2]
When the Great Cataclysm struck, many Ranama fled the Visorak through the Great Barrier to the island of Mata Nui, where they made their homes in Ta-Wahi.[3] The Ranama resided here for 1,000 years. When the Toa Nuva intentionally unleashed the Bohrok, these Ranama migrated back to Metru Nui.[4]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Ranama left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[5]
Abilities and Traits
Ranama swim in molten Protodermis as if it were water. As a result, they frequently hiss and steam. Ranama feed chiefly on Nui-Rama, which they catch with long, sticky tongues from their hiding places beneath the surface of lava streams. However, they are accustomed to eat anything they catch, making their vicinity hazardous for unwary Matoran.[6]
