Primal

"For now, I tolerate him because he is extremely effective. But should I tire of his eccentricities, his existence will come to an abrupt end."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Primal" is a strong-willed and troublesome Dark Hunter.

Biography
"Primal" is from a species whose land was destroyed by the Visorak. He led a small militia of survivors against the spider-like Rahi. "The Shadowed One" later recruited the warriors of the band and then betrayed the location of the remainder of the group to the Visorak. "Primal" initially refused all of the biomechanical implants offered by the Hunters, save a small paralysis device placed under his skin. Like "Gatherer", he loves to collect trophies from his hunts. After a short time, he began to refuse missions which did not guarantee good trophies. He also has such a strong sense of justice that it occasionally caused him to hunt the clients rather than the prey. He is currently active and is one of the only Dark Hunters who goes on missions without a partner. When MakutaTeridax was killed while in control of the Matoran Universe, the Dark Hunters, including "Primal", emigrated to Spherus Magna.

Dark Mirror
In the Toa Empire Alternate Universe, "Primal" was one of three known Dark Hunters that were part of a resistance group attempting to eliminate Toa Mangai Tuyet. During the battle outside the Coliseum, "Primal" killed Tahu, but was drowned by Gali, who created an impenetrable sphere of Water around his head.

Abilities & Traits
"Primal" has a great amount of knowledge, and possesses great agility and strength. Unlike most Dark Hunters, "Primal" is also rather just.

Tools
"Primal" carries a spear and a device that causes paralysis, which he only uses as a failsafe.
