Fireflyers are small insectoid Rahi.
History
The Fireflyer species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis as one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[1]
In Metru Nui, swarms of Fireflyers could be found mainly in Ta-Metru, nesting in the furnaces and maintenance tunnels.[2]
When the Toa Metru were traveling through the Fikou Web, the Rahi named Krahka used her mimicking powers to become a Rahkshi of Insect Control. She then attacked Nokama by using her powers to summon a swarm of Fireflyers to her aid, effectively defeating Nokama.[3]
While on Artidax searching for Makuta Miserix, a team sent by the Order of Mata Nui encountered sands that attempted to suck Spiriah into their depths. Roodaka mutated these sands into Fireflyers, freeing the trapped Makuta.[4]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Fireflyers emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.[5]
Abilities and Traits
Fireflyers travel in large swarms. They are able to fly and each possess a stinger. They are harmless when unprovoked, but if disturbed, they can become aggressive and will chase their target for long distances.[2] They are called Fireflyers because their stings[3] cause so much pain that the victim feels as if they are on fire.[6]
