Lava Rat

Lava Rats are small, rodent-like Rahi.

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

After the Great Cataclysm, a small population of Lava Rats migrated from Ta-Metru to Mata Nui, and took up residence in Ta-Wahi. They later returned to the Matoran Universe after the Bohrok cleansed the island.

Abilities & Traits
Lava Rats were known for their ability to burst into flames as a defense mechanism, a fire which they are immune to. They also possess two small horns.
