Fader Bull

"Although their sheer numbers can at times make them destructive, Po-Matoran eventually learned to accept their presence. With a Rahi that vanishes at will, what else could they do?"

- The Rahaga, Rahi Beasts

Fader Bulls are peaceful and herbivorous herd Rahi.

History
The Fader Bull species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

On Metru Nui, herds of Bulls lived mostly in the Po-Metru district, feeding on the vegetation of its rocky cliffs. During the Morbuzakh plant's attack on the city, the Fader Bulls helped keep some areas safe from the vicious plant by consuming some of its vines. Later, when the Visorak horde was occupying Metru Nui, its teleportation ability enabled it to escape traps laid by the spider-like Rahi.

Abilities & Traits
Despite its size and sharp horns, the Fader Bull may look like an easy prey for a Muaka or a similar predator, but it is actually one of the hardest Rahi to capture.

The Fader Bull has a natural ability that allows them to teleport. When threatened, the Rahi vanishes, leaving a ghostly afterimage that gradually fades away. The bull then reappears away from the encountered danger. They have been known to teleport themselves inside walls or solid objects and die, however. From time to time Po-Matoran find the remains of a Fader Bull that has materialized itself inside a stone or another dense object.
