Mukau

"The [Mata Nui Cow] is a placid animal that lives in herds on the plains of Mata Nui. Although peaceful by nature, it is quick to react to danger. Opponents would be wise to beware the [Mata Nui Cow's] horns and hooves, which it can wield with surprising speed!"

- LEGO Mania Magazine

The Mata Nui Cow is a peaceful bovine Rahi.

History
The Mata Nui Cow 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, the population of Cows that lived in Metru Nui migrated to the grassy plains found on the newly-formed island of Mata Nui. These Cows returned to Metru Nui after the Bohrok swarms were awakened to cleanse the island.

==Abilities & Traits ==

Though naturally gentle, the Mata Nui Cow becomes considerably more formidable when faced with danger, taking advantage of its sturdy horns and hooves which it quickly adopts as natural weapons.



==Trivia ==


 * The Mata Nui Cow was designed by LEGO employee Daniel Lipkowitz.


 * It was originally called the Mukau (a pun on "Moo-Cow"), but it has not been called by this name since 2001. The name was taken out of canon because the story team head considered it too silly.
