Kuma-Nui are huge rat-like Rahi.
History
The Kuma-Nui species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[1]
On Metru Nui, Kuma-Nui lived in the maintenance tunnels below the Archives, particularly below Ta-Metru and Ko-Metru.[2]
After the Great Cataclysm, a small number of these Rahi migrated to Mata Nui. Since they were especially dangerous, Koro defense forces regularly dispatched patrols to keep them away from the Matoran villages.[2] Many were enslaved by Makuta Teridax using Infected Kanohi. Toa Mata Kopaka once battled with one on his way to Po-Wahi, but when he knocked its mask off, the Kuma-Nui fled.[3]
The Kuma-Nui migrated back to Metru Nui when the Toa Nuva unleashed the Bohrok on the island.[4]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, many Kuma-Nui left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[5]
Abilities and Traits
Kuma-Nui appear to be just as ferocious as a Muaka or Kane-Ra, and at least the same size, with large claws and a massive mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. Like the two aforementioned Rahi, they have tread-like motor appendages instead of hind legs.
